When it comes to a home, there are so many places and spaces to focus on. Of course, the kitchen is a focal point for many. And if you’re the homeowner, the primary suite is also very important. For those who enjoy entertaining others, the living room is a space you’ll revisit time and time again. But one space in the home that might go overlooked even though it’s touched by everyone who lives there and visits…is the bathroom!
We’ve gathered some of our current favorite bathrooms in our factory-built homes. Let us know if you have any favorites in the comments below!

The concept of “try before you buy” isn’t new at all. Whether it comes to more simple purchases such as clothing and food sampling at the market, or more monumental purchases such as a home, getting a feel for a purchase can add to your confidence and more. This is why we’re so excited to announce an innovative experience we’re providing for potential customers in California!
The Silvercrest Village is an on-site addition to our Corona, CA manufacturing facility, and it’s open to the public! Open primarily during the week and on select weekend days, the Silvercrest Village features models from our Silvercrest brand and they’re fully open to your eyes and inquiries. Let’s learn about the models available for viewing and hours of operation.
Silvercrest Village hosts an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), 2 park models, and a multi-section manufactured home! One of the park models is meant to be placed in a park and/or a resort for optimal functionality. An ADU, also known as a backyard house, guest house, or casita, is a small home that can be built in a factory and placed on the same lot alongside another, larger single-family home, or as a part of a community development. They are self-sufficient dwellings and contain a kitchen, a living area, bathroom facilities, and a bedroom. A park model is a perfect tiny getaway with nearly 400 square feet of living space, full-size appliances, built-in storage cabinets, covered porches and attractive architectural features.

Buying a factory-built home from Champion® is the better choice, and here’s why!
The current homebuying market is…well, let’s just say it’s something. While it can be easy in this housing climate to become overwhelmed, there are some solutions available for easing the potential stress. One of those solutions? Factory-built homes! Understandably, there are lots of questions about prefabricated homes. But factory-built housing has come a long way, and these days you can get a factory-built home that’s virtually indistinguishable from the site-built alternative.
Here are the top reasons why your next home should be manufactured in a factory instead of built on-site!
#1: Cost
More people are becoming aware that “stick-at-a-time” homebuilding is very costly…and costs are only going up! And here’s the thing you might not be aware of: because of this awareness, many homes built in newer subdivisions have off-site components brought in to reduce labor costs and speed up the building time. Since labor is one of the costlier parts of building, we systemize the build of components such as walls, flooring, insulation and more. What does this mean? We take care of building a production setting without sacrificing quality. This, as you might imagine, greatly reduces the cost of the house.
The sheer volume of output from a Champion Homes manufacturing facility leads to economies of scale which can’t be touched by on-site construction methods. Think: more for less! When you factor this into the plethora of model options we have for you to choose from, your pocketbook will thank you for choosing factory-built!
You can get curb appeal and more with offsite construction!
#2: Time
If you’ve ever had an on-site home built or know someone who has, we likely don’t have to tell you about the countless frustrating delays that are to be expected in the traditional homebuilding process. Bathroom walls need finishing, but the plumber hasn’t come? Delay. Kitchen lights need to be turned on, but the inspector hasn’t come? Delay. Rain and snow won’t let up? Delay. Fed up yet? With Champion Homes, you get a Smarter Way to Build®. That means these problems don’t exist. Seriously! In many of our manufacturing facilities, our skilled craftspeople are churning out multiple homes in a single day.
Our superior building environment lets us take advantage of some great techniques, which streamlines processes such as wall painting, cabinet installation and more! Watch this TikTok to see some of it in action!
Take a look at some of our smarter-built kitchens below!
#3: Quality
If the last 2 reasons didn’t sway you enough, this last one will! Our manufactured and modular homes are built with high quality processes and materials, making them durable and perfect for any life stage you may be in. If something has to drive down a highway to get to its destination, you bet your bottom dollar it must be built in a way that sustains its strength throughout the ride. Our homes do. Every day.
Remember those skilled craftspeople we mentioned earlier? They make a world of a difference. Here’s the thing: with a site-built home, you’ll likely work with a general contractor who will perform the bulk of the construction. You know the saying: ‘jack of all trades…’ Well, in our factories the team is divided up into specialized crews. These skilled workers do a very particular range of tasks day in and day out, and they do them very well!
Not to mention, all of our homes (even our tiny homes) are built to very strict standards and codes, which we meet and/or surpass with each home! Whether you’re getting a manufactured home, a modular home, or a park model, you can count on getting quality!
Not to mention, the quality reporting in off-site building is superior as well. Just like the Senate has checks and balances, our process does as well to maintain the quality from the beginning to the end. Our floor plans and designs must be approved by HUD. We have inspections in every single station of the production line, with supervisors at every level. We also have third party inspectors within the facility that will walk every house at least once but can actually inspect any house at any time in the process and as many times as they want.
This is all in addition to our regular audits. Long story short? We take quality seriously, unlike many general contractors who can throw the tools in the truck and move on to somewhere new.
YES, the home above IS a manufactured home!

Buying a home is arguably one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your life. Don’t let the growing list of pains associated with building an on-site home get you down, there’s a smarter way to build®! With Champion Homes, you can experience what building and buying a home should feel like. Ready to get that feeling now? Get in touch with a local independent retailer today!
In this blog, we’ll detail why Park Models give you the benefits of tiny home living, without having to make tiny home compromises.
Tiny home living is really trendy right now, and we totally understand why! Saving money, living greener and the ability to have a bohemian lifestyle are just a few of the many reasons to consider it. But may we suggest something even better? Park Model Living. Yep, with a Park Model, there are numerous additional reasons to consider going this route instead of building a tiny home. Here are some of those reasons and differences.
When it comes to tiny homes, there’s no set standard for quality and safety. This means there’s likely no regulation that the cute tiny home floor plan you’re eyeing may not even be fit to be a home. Park Models, which are under 400 sq. Ft., are built to a certain standard of quality and safety, unlike the unofficial “tiny home.” Park Models can also be built to the ANSI Code.

Park Models are cute, quaint getaways!
On to that “bohemian lifestyle” we mentioned earlier. If you’re looking to live where there’s always an oasis waiting for you to escape to, Park Models are definitely the superior housing option. Park models can be housed on private rural property in most states, as well as on most RV campgrounds and in resorts around the country. Many parks have attractive amenities such as pools & hot tubs, nightly bonfires and more! So basically, your life is a vacation. We’re already jealous!
Okay, and we can’t forget to mention possibly the biggest advantage park models have over tiny homes: full sized appliances! Yes, Park Models offer full-sized amenities such as kitchens and baths, so you don’t have to compromise on essential comforts. Thinking about that upcoming trip with the grandkids? Now you can make it possible…without having to pull your hair out.
Now, to the less cool but extremely important matter: financing. Maybe you’re in the market for a tiny home prefab and can’t find the options for your land. Maybe you cannot quite find the balance of attractiveness and ease. Then the solution to your problem is likely a Park Model! The RVIA park model label you’ll find by the front door of our park models makes them easy to finance and insure.
While tiny homes and park models do have a lot of similarities, the differences make all the difference. If you’re looking for a comfortable option that you can place for a return adventure, a Park Model is your best bet. Interested in a Park Model? Find the floor plan for you today!
