Yes, they are exactly the same.
Exactly the same way you do in a regular house.
Not much actually,a Mobile Home water Heater has the water connections going into the side where as a Regular Water Heater has the connections at the top. So if you have enough room above a mobile home water heater you can install a regular water heater no problem.However a lot of mobile homes do not have room above the water heater so your forced to use a Mobile Home water heater instead. Which usually costs about a hundred more than a regular one.
The biggest difference you will find between mobile home water heaters and house water heaters is the the mobile home version is generally slimmer in order to fit in the smaller spaces in a mobile home. The installation is also different as the mobile home heater feeds from the bottom and vents from the bottom.
Yes, you can. That is the common fit.
YES, of course. All home water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners etc are the same as in a small regular house.
All the mobile home water heaters that I've seen are the same as regular house water heaters, -if you can change install one in your house, then you can install one in a Mobile. The actual procedure differs if it's electric or gas and as you don't say which, that's as far as I'll go for now..
Gas mobile home water heaters have a valve to allow the use of natural gas or propane.Ans2 - I have seen and repaired many. Most, whether electric or gas are the same as in an ordinary house.
Yes, they are the same unit.
Regular insurance will not. If you just purchased the house and have warranty insurance and the water heater is listed it will.
Depends if it is propane or electric, and whether you have propane or electric in the house to supply it. Usually they are identical to regular house water heaters. -I change many and have never seen a special one for mobiles.
According to DIY websites there are basically no dfference between the units except some is labeled mobile home water heater and others are not. Also some may have water inlets on the top and some on the side.
Using a regular gas water heater in a mobile home is generally not recommended unless it is specifically designed and approved for mobile home use. Mobile homes require water heaters that comply with stricter safety standards due to their unique construction and ventilation needs. Always check local codes and regulations, and consult a professional to ensure proper installation and safety measures are in place.
