Would temporary boilers in tractor trailer type trailers fall under any special articles? Can i treat this as an ordinary out building? I am mostly concerned with running ser cable and not having an insulated ground vrs conduit.

Rick, this is from NECHB so FWIW,

Temporary feeders are permitted to be cable assemblies, multiconductor cords, or single-conductor cords. Cords used as feeders must be identified for hard or extra-hard usage according to Table 400.4.
All temporary wiring methods must be approved by the authority having jurisdiction. [See 590.2(B).]

I see 'Manufactered' doesn't say dwelling, but did you erect it on site or park it there?
 
He was quoting 550.4.
