I don't have time now but often you will find the mobile home calculation based on 550.31 which is often overlooked

550.31 Allowable Demand Factors. Park electrical wiring
systems shall be calculated (at 120/240 volts) on the larger of
the following:
(1) 16,000 volt-amperes for each mobile home lot
(2) The load calculated in accordance with 550.18 for the
largest typical mobile home that each lot will accept
It shall be permissible to calculate the feeder or service load
in accordance with Table 550.31. No demand factor shall be
allowed for any other load, except as provided in this Code.
