### sec.10 What is a manufactured home
A manufactured home is a structure, other than a caravan or tent, that—
has the character of a dwelling house; and
is designed to be able to be moved from one position to another; and
is not permanently attached to land.
A manufactured home does not include a converted caravan.
However, if a park owner and the owner of a converted caravan enter into an agreement, that would be a site agreement if it related to a manufactured home, for a site on which the converted caravan is positioned or intended to be positioned—
the converted caravan is taken to be a manufactured home; and
the agreement is taken to be a site agreement.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that an agreement entered into under another Act or a former Act, other than the repealed Mobile Homes Act 1989 , is not a site agreement under subsection (3) .
A residential tenancy agreement entered into under the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 is not a site agreement under subsection (3) .
