Mobile homes are a poor shape to start with and you are more or less going to be rebuilding everything anyway so why not save the time and the money and start from scratch? you can build the shell of a house really cheaply, within your $20,000 budget and have a space that doesn't have the flaws of a mobile home shaped house and most mobile homes have 3" thick walls, lots of partical board and you could buy one, take it apart and sell the scrap metal out of it and at times come out ahead, I just think that half way in to this project you are going to be asking your self why you are doing it this way.
As I said, you can build a house for cheap because what costs alot in a house are the bath room and the kitchen, the shell of the house is pretty cheap, sure doors and windows cost a bit but you are going to need to replace those anyway as mobile home doors and windows are pretty bad.
