Help me identify a mobile home pedestal

Now, based upon the transition from the 200 amp main disconnect to the 100 amps in the pedestal, I would now put a breaker in the disconnect, to protect the 100 amp wires... but if the wires were capable of at least the original 200 amps all the way to the mobile home panel, then I do not see the need for the breaker in the pedestal when a 200 amp simple disconnect is capable of the job... but it may be cheaper to source the breaker switch than the simple DP switch at this time.
 
If he already has the main disconnect at the meter, then if this is within so far of the mobile home it covers the disconnect requirement. If the distance is over this, then a disconnect is needed on a pedestal but, overcurrent is already covered at the meter disconnect so..
Are you proposing that it is required to have an overcurrent device at the Meter, the Pedestal and the Main disconnect of the panel?
Or, is one overcurrent device all that is required? The other positions only have to be disconnects, not required to be breakers or fuses..

Did you read the code I referenced? Regardless of where else you have over current protection, you SHALL have overcurrent protection "near" where the feeders enter the mobile home.
