How do you install a water and sewer line underground in a mobile home?

What type of mobile home do you have single wide dbl wide ?

What part of the country are you in ?

Most local municipalities have their own standards and codes but here's the basics for the water somewhere on your mobile home there may be a plate that says fresh water connection or something similar that is where the line ties into your MH it will then run straight down into the ground and be run in a trench either to your well or to the city supply. Be sure when you bury it that the depht is below your frost line or whatever depth your areas codes call far. As far as the sewer it depends on how your MH is set up underneath but running it underground is pretty much the same as running any pipe with the following exceptions no tight turns in fact the fewer turns the better in my opinion and you must get th correct fall on your sewer line about 1/4 inch per foot should do it. This is a lot of info to a somewhat vague question and these are just the basics. Please post back if I have missed anything. Im sure some others will be along to fill in any blanks that I missed. GOOD LUCK, AC
