How thick are the outside walls of a modular home ? I was told they much thicker than other homes.

The homes we build have 2 x 6 stud exterior walls set 16" on center - interior walls are 2 x 4.
All ceiling & walls, the sheetrock is glued then screw fastened to provide extra strength. This, along with special metal straps & fasteners provide the 140 mph hurricane wind resistance.
I have found that not all modulars are "created equal". Some are really cheaply made - some even have 2 x 3 studs !
Yours sound much better than some I've seen.
