Two ten foot, 5/8ths of an inch, ground rods driven into the ground ten foot apart or a ground plate with the same surface area as the rods dug into the earth to a depth of two feet. The wire from the rods or plate, sized by the amperage of the electrical panel, is connected to the same neutral bar that the incoming street neutral connects to in the electrical panel.

A mobile home is personal property, and has a title like other dwellings, rather than a vehicle title as is used for RV's. The resident may be the owner, or may be paying a mortgage to a bank that loaned money on the home. If the resident is renting, the home may be owned by a private individual, or by an operator of the mobile home park where it is located. Note that the land on which a mobile home is located may have an entirely separate owner (who leases the ground space), and a separate individual or company may be providing utility services.
