Now I'm not knocking anyone that wants to grow, but in Mobile homes and especially older ones you have to remember a few things. The first is that on older mobile homes almost all the wire in them is "Aluminum" as opposed to houses that have copper wiring.
In my opinion Aluminum wire is NOT safe for running higher watts, and on that note, It only takes seven to nine minutes for a mobile to become completely engulfed when a fire breaks out..
Now I'm not sure how old/new your mobile is, Nor am I trying to discourage you from growing, I just want to let you know that there IS a difference between "House wire" and "Mobile home wire"
A friend of mine lost his mobile home to fire, and yes it had Aluminum wire and was at fault for the fire.. Overloaded outlets with plug in heaters in the winter time.
I have pulled many a miles of wire, and in my old house it had Aluminum wire when I bought it, The first thing I did after moving in was to replace/rewire the whole house. It took six boxes (250' per box) to do this+ new receptacles and alot of sweat!!
As I sit here and write this I know alot of you may be wondering "Who the fuck is this guy?" Well I'm an OLD stoner/grower/contractor/Dad/Grandpa and someone that doesnt want to see another person lose everything.. Take care man, Sorry this is soo long winded, but I thought it needed to be said... Peace
