I can see that there is some confusion about whether this building is covered by 545 or 550. I don?t know what the correct answer is.
George,
As far as my 2 statements,
?For trailers, 225 only applies to items
not covered by 550.
550.32 & 33 covers services and feeders and nowhere restricts the number to one single supply.?
90.3 says, in part, ?Chapters 5, 6, and 7 apply to special occupancies, special equipment, or other special conditions. These latter chapters supplement or
modify the general rules. Chapters 1 through 4 apply
except as amended by chapters 5, 6, and 7 for particular conditions.?
So my first sentence is true. For trailers, 225 only applies to items not covered, modified, or amended by 550.
You?re right about the second sentence. While it?s true that 550.32 & 33 covers services and feeders and nowhere restricts the number to one single supply. It?s also true that 550.32 & 33 nowhere
allows the number of feeders to be
more than one single supply. So 550.32 & 33 is
not modifying or amended 225 restrictions on the number of feeders. 225 would still apply.
I don?t see that 2 feeders would be code compliant whether 545 applied or 550 applied.

The distinguishing difference between Manufactured Buildings and Mobile/Manufactured Homes is that the latter is transportable via the "built on" permanent chassis [550.2 Definitions, Mobile Home]. To my knowledge, Manufactured Buildings have no such chassis for transportability.
This one has a permanent chassis and it also has permanent diagonal beams that come together at a hitch.
