Yes, we were going to put ours on a slab. The cost is a wash, because you save money on the foundation, floors, and framing. Radiant flooring is slightly...

I agree with Bill. The location is very important with the LV Home, because the surroundings become "part" of the building. You will also need to site the LV...
