Triple wide mobile homes are the biggest factory-built homes most buyers will ever look at. Built in three sections and joined on site, a triple wide gives you the square footage of a typical site-built house – often 2,000 to 3,000+ sq ft – at a lower cost per square foot. This guide covers triple wide sizes, floor plans, prices, setup costs and what to check before you buy.
What Is a Triple Wide Mobile Home?
A triple wide is a manufactured home made of three separate floors, or “sections”, that are built in a factory, trucked to your land and connected side by side. Technically, homes built after June 15, 1976 are called triple wide manufactured homes because they follow the federal HUD Code, but most people still search for them as triple wide mobile homes or triple wide trailer homes. Some builders also sell triple wide modular homes, which are built to local building codes instead of the HUD Code.
Because three sections are joined together, a triple wide can offer layouts a single wide or double wide simply can’t: a separate den or office, a large central kitchen island, a formal dining room, a split primary suite and wide-open family rooms.
Triple Wide Mobile Home Sizes and Dimensions
Each section is usually 12 to 16 feet wide, so a finished triple wide is normally about 36 to 48 feet wide and 56 to 80 feet long. Typical sizes look like this:
| Common size | Approx. living space | Typical bedrooms |
|---|---|---|
| 42′ x 56′ | 2,000 – 2,300 sq ft | 3 – 4 |
| 44′ x 64′ | 2,400 – 2,700 sq ft | 4 |
| 46′ x 76′ | 2,800 – 3,300 sq ft | 4 – 5 |
Exact measurements vary by manufacturer, so always ask for the floor plan and the HUD data plate before comparing prices.
Popular Triple Wide Floor Plans
Most triple wide floor plans are designed for larger families. The most common layouts are:
- 3 bedroom triple wide – extra-large living areas plus a den, office or flex room.
- 4 bedroom triple wide – the most popular option, usually with 2 to 3 full bathrooms and a split-bedroom plan.
- 5 bedroom triple wide mobile homes – ideal for big or multi-generational families who want every bedroom on one level.

How Much Does a Triple Wide Mobile Home Cost?
The U.S. Census Bureau does not publish a separate average for triple wides, but it does track multi-section homes. In April 2026 the average sales price of a new double-section manufactured home was about $164,000. Triple wides are larger, so a new triple wide mobile home generally starts around that level and often runs $170,000 to $300,000+ depending on size, brand, finishes and location.
Used and repossessed triple wides can cost much less. Our listings regularly include used and dealer-priced homes such as this 3 bedroom triple wide mobile home and this 4 bedroom triple wide for sale.
Extra costs to budget for
- Delivery and setup: moving three sections takes more trucks and a crane or skilled setup crew, so expect higher delivery costs than a double wide.
- Foundation: piers, a permanent foundation or a basement (required for some mortgages).
- Utilities: water, septic or sewer, electric hookups and HVAC connections.
- Site work: clearing, grading, driveway and permits.
- Extras: skirting, steps, porches, decks and garages.
Pros and Cons of Triple Wide Manufactured Homes
Pros
- House-sized living space for less money per square foot.
- Faster build time because sections are built indoors in a factory.
- Room for 4 to 5 bedrooms, dens and large kitchens on one floor.
- Many triple wides qualify for traditional mortgages when placed on land you own with a permanent foundation.
Cons
- Needs a larger lot – many mobile home parks can’t fit a triple wide.
- Higher delivery and setup costs than single wides or double wides.
- Not easy to move once installed.
Triple Wide vs Double Wide: Which Is Better?
A double wide is usually 1,000 to 2,300 sq ft, while a triple wide is typically 2,000 to 3,300+ sq ft. If you need 4 or more bedrooms, extra bathrooms, or a home office, a triple wide gives you more flexibility. If you’re on a tighter budget or a smaller lot, a double wide is often the smarter buy.

- Check the HUD label and data plate for the wind zone and roof load rating for your area.
