Conventional loans have several advantages over FHA. There is no up front mortgage insurance premium. Second/Vacation homes are permitted with 10% down. The monthly mortgage insurance is significantly lower, even if you only put 5% down. And, an FHA/HUD foundation is not required....though many lenders (not the ones I use) require an FHA/HUD foundation on conventional loans too. Conventional loans are tougher to qualify for though. So, when I prequalify a borrower for a manufactured (or regular) home loan, I start with the possibility of closing a conventional loan first....and then move to FHA if necessary.
