Loans require mobile homes to be at least 40 feet long, excluding campers and travel trailers. Board member Thomas Clarke spoke at the U S Savings and Loan League convention in Chicago. Clarke said savings and loans traditionally finance housing for lower income levels, noting 90 percent of new one family homes under 15000 dollars are mobile homes.
