    "Department" means the Illinois Department of Public

    "Licensed installer" means a person who has successfully
completed a manufactured home installation course approved by
the Department and paid the required fees.
    "Manufactured home" and "mobile home" mean means a

utilities for year-round occupancy for use as a permanent
habitation, and designed to be used as a dwelling with or
without a permanent foundation and situated so as to permit its
occupancy as a dwelling place for one or more persons. The
terms "manufactured home" and "mobile home" shall include units
otherwise meeting their respective definitions containing
parts that may be folded, collapsed, or telescoped when being
towed and that may be expected to provide additional cubic

unit capable of being separated again into the components for
repeated towing. The terms "manufactured home" and "mobile
home" exclude campers and recreational vehicles.
    "Manufacturer" means a manufacturer of a manufactured
home, whether the manufacturer is located within or outside of

    "Mobile home park" means a tract of land or 2 contiguous
tracts of land that contain sites with the necessary utilities
for 5 or more mobile homes or manufactured homes. A mobile home
