I lived in prefabs twice - both RAF married quarters. Married people were my parents and this was back in the 60s.
First was way out beyond the perimeter track at RAF Jever, in West Germany, the second at RAF Hemswell, in Lincolnshire. Both were actually quite cosy, and we got through the dreadful 1963 winter at Hemswell with few problems. In fact I found them warmer than the brick-built married quarters we moved into at RAF Scampton, after Helmswell.

Prefabricated homes are many times built to higher standards than regular homes, and prefab homes are usually permanent with no intention of moving the structure to other sites over their lifetimes. Unfortunately, prefab homes are equal (if not more in some cases) in cost relative to standard “stick-built” homes.
