I have a manufactured one story home With a basement with 10’ ceilings.
I can only access my attic with a ladder up to a small square opening. Big hassle.
Is there a way to modify the trusses to get more headroom ? Then frame an opening for pull down stairs? The Joists need to be boxed out too of course.
Just don’t know if a manufactured house can be modified, SAFELY!
thanks for any input.

Bill,
If you can find or have the name of the manufacturer, you should contact them. Anything that’s engineered like the roof/joist system or trusses are different than conventional framing in how you can go about this.
Yes sir Calvin. That’s my feelings exactly. I do have all the plans, engineering drawings etc. I think that’s the best place to start.
Thank you for the reply.
