Manufactured home.

Subdivision 1.
U.C.C. and chapter 565.
To the extent that the procedures established by sections 327.61 to 327.67 differ from the procedures established or authorized for repossession of a manufactured home under the Uniform Commercial Code of this state, the provisions of sections 327.61 to 327.67 shall supersede the code and shall govern the repossession of the manufactured home.
