A plurality of floor joists extend between the spaced apart perimeter frame members and have notched ends configured to each receive a portion of one perimeter frame member. An arrangement for coupling a transport structure to the floor frame is also disclosed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention includes one or more of the following features or my combination thereof: According to the disclosure, a manufactured or modular home includes a floor frame structure having a perimeter frame and a plurality of floor joists spanning between members of the perimeter frame.
The perimeter frame may include a pair of spaced apart side frame members and a pair of end frame members interconnecting the side frame members.
Each of the side frame members may have a C-shaped cross section defined by a vertical wall, a top wall extending from a top region of the vertical wall, and a bottom wall extending from a bottom region of the vertical wall.
Each floor joist may have a pair of ends, and each end may be formed to include a notch.
The floor joist notches may receive a portion of the top wall and a portion of the vertical wall of the associated side frame members.
A transport structure may be detachably coupled to the perimeter frame.
The transport structure carries a plurality of wheels, and can be detached from the perimeter frame upon positioning the manufactured home at its destination.
Additionally, a tow structure can be provided that is detachable from the perimeter frame upon delivery of the manufactured home.
Additional features of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.
