Mobile home water heaters are EXACTLY the same as those used in houses. I've seen hundreds, both electric and gas. The only ones that are even slightly different are propane heaters (and you could use them in a house if you wished).
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.
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.

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.
Yes, you can install a propane water heater in a mobile home. However, it is important to ensure that the water heater is specifically designed for use in mobile homes and meets all safety requirements. Additionally, proper ventilation and installation by a professional are necessary to ensure safe operation.
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.
YES, of course. All home water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners etc are the same as in a small regular house.
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.
