Stability of grouted vinyl tile in mobile home that I must move

by Millie
I recently purchased a used mobile home that has very nice grouted vinyl tile in the kitchen, two baths and laundry room. I will have to move the home about 85 miles. I am wondering if I should expect a broken grout disaster or am I worrying for nothing?

    I would not worry about it but just be prepared that most likely you will have some broken grout, and will pray for you that it doesn't break. I was told that in a mobile home that was not ever going to be moved not to put reg. tile as would break (or be tone to breaking) and that grout at the least would most likely crack due to settling. This being said maybe I was told wrong.

    Thanks, Cynthia E.! I hope you are right. I can perhaps find out the brand/type/color of the grout to be prepared in case of replacement. It is a fairly new tile job, & I am hoping the vinyl tiles have enough flexibility to keep the damage to a minimum. I have never worked with grout, so have no idea the work involved should the grout be damaged. Just trying to get my ducks in a row with as much information as I can gather.
