Manufactured Home Disconnect

The panels that I have seen don't have additional breakers. I have seen one set-up that included power for outside outlets and a subpanel in a detached garage.

Sue, lost on the frontier................ :)
 
manufactured homes are inspected in the factory... we only have authority to inspect field installed items. Do you require an exterior disconnect?
 
In our area the electric utility is leery of mounting a service on a building that is "mobile", or that may not be of a certain level of structural soundness to bear the strain of service cables, ergo, for "single-wides" and units that may have lighter weight structure than standard 2x4 studwalls, a separate pole is required.

As for extra circuits it is common here for those to serve an exterior well-house perhaps, or, in the case of a street-legal 100 amp service for a dwelling, to serve a self contained heat pump without gobbling up too much of the building's load.
