Ignore all the wacky suggestions of a transformer. Short answer, you can't "convert". You need a 240v 30amp circuit and outlet installed. New wire from the circuit breaker box to the location. Probably not terribly difficult if you can get under the mobile home.

In a mobile home, it might be easier to get the power from the power

pole outside. Usually a mobile home space has the service disconnect

and meter if present there.

You may have a spare breaker slot in that meter/main or you can find

an electrician who understands feeder taps.

This won't be a handyman.

I'd shy away from that. I think doing that turns the main panel into a sub and you'd have to go into it and separate the ground and neutral. Running wire under a mobile home is fairly easy.

I haven't read these closely and wouldn't know if they were wrong even
if I did.
