Hello, I am also wanting to remoldel my mobile home. My starting question to you if you can help me is, "Does a 16*80 mobile home have supporting walls? From my living room to my kitchen it has catherdral ceilings
. Is it possible that those two walls support the ceiling? Please contact me email.
Thank you!

Hi & welcome. The short answer is no, the interior walls of a single wide are usually not load bearing. The exception is when the ceiling height changes, then that wall would usually be load bearing.

If you are going to do a remodel the first thing you want to do is check & relevel the home first, This is done at the frame with a water level. Greg
