How 3 Million SENIORS Sleep & Survive Winter in Mobile Homes With No Insulation

How seniors survive winter in mobile homes with no insulation, told by a man who built them on a factory line for 28 years. Buck explains why an old pre-1976 mobile home loses most of its heat through the floor, the torn belly and the gaps in the skirting rather than the walls, and why the kitchen pipes always freeze first. He walks through the five ways older owners get through a freezing night, from shrinking the home to a few warm rooms to the space heater beside the bed and the open oven door that can turn deadly. You will learn what to buy, including a tip-over shutoff heater, a carbon monoxide alarm and window film, what to fix first if you can only afford one thing, and the free federal Weatherization Assistance Program that can seal the belly and ducts for qualifying households. It is not your fault the house is cold, and most of the fix starts underneath you.
