Hi Yanita and All
There are electric water heaters approved for manufactured housing. Below is a pic of my WH manual cover.
Here’s the HUD Code:
HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Title 24, CFR; 3280.707
(d) Performance efficiency. (1) All automatic electric storage water
heaters installed in manufactured homes shall have a standby heat loss not exceeding 43 watts/meter\2\ (4 watts/ft\2\) of tank surface area. The method of test for standby loss shall be as described in section 4.3.1 of Household Automatic Electric Storage Type Water Heaters.
State and local government shall not override HUD code.

PS: If you want to “green” your electric water heater wrap it with an insulation blanket...to reduce standby heat loss.

Aside from the roof leak, soft floors, rats, mice and bursted plumbing ........ how do you like it?
