I will try; Typical setup would be a 12-3 HR to the fridge. The extra circuit goes to one of your kitchen GFCI.

12-3 HR to dish washer/disposal. Extra circuit goes to your second kitchen GFCI. Smoke dectectors have a minimal draw

so common practice is to put them on with bedroom lights. Reason is if bedroom lights don't work you know the smokes

aren't working.... You can put all of the bath lights & GFCI on one 20A circuit. Second bath would require it's own 20 A

circuit. Or 15 A circuit for bath lights then 20A GFCI recptacle with load side of GFCI can protect a recptacle in another

bath room. Heat tape would go on its own 15 or 20 A circuit whatever manufacture requires.

Welcome to the Forum.
My response above is based on standard single family wood framed homes. Shouldn't make any difference.

Look at your definitions of mobile home and manufactured home in Art 550. You will note the Code states "for the purpose of this Code,,,mobile homes includes manufactured homes".
If HUD is involved, it wires to Art 550, however, you also need to know which Code cycle thy are enforcing. For example, the HUD approved manufactured/mobile homes delivered in this area do not comply with '-08 550.25.
HUD rules !

If it's a new manufactured home and is to display a HUD sticker, you would need to wire it to your HUD inspector's specifications. Section 90.7 of the NEC stipulates that inspection authorities operating under NEC guidelines accept the HUD inspection.
