What’s the difference between Manufactured and Modular homes?

I am not sure and wanted to know?

Manufactured are usually completed structures, whereas modulars are assembled on-site in any number of configurations. You have seen manufactured homes being trucked down the freeway I’m sure, those "wide load" cargo haulers. Modulars can even need to be roofed later.

I saw an apartment building in Houston which was all modular, it was literally stacked apartment made of reinforced concrete units that a crane hauled and put in place, they slid together, each one was completely finished except for pluming/electrical hookup…the beds were made, the walls were painted, the curtains were hung.
