Do they still make these?

They look like a lawyer's wet dream.

Looks like a mobile home wiring device?

Yes sir! Single wide trailers have those for sure. Relatively new homes I've seen with those.

 

[LARMGUY]

Wouldn't these be a bit wanky? Essentially using the same kind of mechanical connection as communications, a punchdown recept?

 

[MTW]

The few trailers I've seen had these old school Union boxes in them.

Those are still put in mobile homes that are being manufactured as we speak. There are a few companies in this area that manufacture these homes, but those devices are no where to be found, I wouldn't use one if they were. The good news is, a little trimming of the Sheetrock will allow for a pop-in box, and new devices, bad news is, you can't use a 20ci pop in as the walls are only about 2-1/2" deep. You must use the 14ci. I hate those things...

Yes yes and yes.

Seems like I've only seen them in single wide trailers? Double wides from recollection have regular devices/enclosures... Could be wrong, but seems that way.

That all depends on the manufacturer of the home, and the level of quality they choose, so you are most likely correct.

An RV dealer told me that most RV's and manufactured homes are built in a particular county in Indiana.

P&S still makes the devices. They're a bugger to find, and expensive as all git-out.

I've seen them with as many as three 14-2's punched into one device

To be terse , they can't s*ck enough....
