What is the aim of the 4th amendment?
The 4th Amendment was a response to the British government tactics prior to the Revolution. There was a general idea that homes in Britain were "a man's castle"- but not so with homes in the Colonies, which were specifically exempt from that concept. Officials would often get "general warrants" to search any homes at any time for any reason. It especially bothered businessmen, who would be harassed by tax officials. The 4th Amendment was intended to codify that the government couldn't just search your home and your "stuff" without a good reason. Government officials are supposed to go to a judge and convince him to issue a warrant, which is a legal document specifying what they are allowed to search.

Warrant for mobile how about under mobile home?
A warrant for a mobile home operates similarly to warrants for other types of properties, requiring law enforcement to demonstrate probable cause to a judge. If law enforcement suspects illegal activity, such as drug use or trafficking, they can obtain a warrant to search the mobile home. However, the specific laws and regulations may vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult local laws for precise guidelines. Additionally, residents of mobile homes retain certain rights under the Fourth Amendment, protecting them from unreasonable searches and seizures.
