When a manufactured dwelling changes in occupancy it shall lose its identity as a manufactured dwelling and have the insignia removed and returned to the Department of Consumer and Business Services.

(b) Manufactured dwellings may be used by dealers or distributors of manufactured structures as temporary sales offices when no alterations to the design, construction, transportation, fire and life safety, plumbing, mechanical or electrical systems are made to accommodate the office use and when the dealer or distributor continues to offer the manufactured dwelling for sale during the office use.
