As extreme cold is coming, here are a couple of important tips-
Go make sure your skirting is sealed up. Block any holes, even if only temporary. The wind may have done damage that needs to be fixed or you will have trouble with water lines.
Check your heat tape. It should run from the belly of your home all the way to the bucket where your main line is, and include the meter. If those freeze, most parks will charge you if they break, as keeping functional heat tape is your responsibility. It should feel warm to the touch in this cold, and it should have insulation wrapped the whole length as well. You don't need to remove the insulation to check it. Check to see if it's plugged in, and a light should be on indicating there is power to it.
Contrary to popular belief, you should not let your faucets trickle in a mobile home. Your sewer line can build up a dam inside if you have water trickling into it. It has no heat source. This can happen even if your toilet runs on its own a little because the seal in the tank leaks. We have seen sewer back up into homes caused by this. Damage from this can be very expensive, and hard to fix. Open the cabinet doors and allow heat into your cabinets.
