The difference between the 2 heaters in all of reality is the manufacturer makes more money by selling the mobile home heater. Gas heaters still pull intake from the bottom just as a mobile home heater. Cold inlet placing has absolutly nothing to do with performance, and knowing what gas you have weather propane or natural there is no significant difference between the two. Except price. Manufacturers win.
And I dont condone installing regular water heaters in place of mobile home units. But they would work absolutly the same.

So why don't you condone installing regular water heaters in place of mobile home units?
