Now you've scared me. Before today I have never heard of tying down mobile homes, except when I lived in Guam, which is subject to typhoons. There, a study after a major typhoon showed that mobile homes secured with tie-downs were able to sustain storms better than regular homes. Anyway, I now have to do some research to see if tie-downs are required in my area.
Quabledistocficklepo Always ask as it is your home. If it has decorative skirting or what ever, it'll never be seen. Besides, if your in the states, I'm pretty sure its a law to be anchored.
I believe that there are different standards. One way is to secure the carriage of the mobile home. That is not visible because it's below the mobile home. Another way is to run cables over the mobile home. That's better protection for hurricanes but is very unsightly. Maybe its setup to attach the cables only when storms threaten. I hadn't thought of that until just now. Anyway, after asking around, I haven't heard anyone say that this kind of protection is require in any part of California.Such requirements probably apply only in "hurricane alley."
Quabledistocficklepo Ya I don't know about your mobile home, but newer homes (ours has it and is a 1994) have areas down where the skirting attaches for a vertical pull and an angle pull to the frame. That does the same as over the roof so it isn't seen. Besides, a strong enough wind will blow walls and roof away anyways even over the roof types unless it is rated for wind 2 or 3.
Come on, be realistic EACH tie-down probably takes a half hour or an hour each, and there must be several per home (depending on how large/long the home is). This is no lego project. And it appears the person installing has to have the skills to figure out all the angles and the tools to properly install them
Ummm they just showed in the video. Its not exactly rocket science. We made an adapter for a post hole digger and screwed our own anchors in. Besides, screwing a anchor into the ground, your angles are off anyways from hitting rocks, roots or whatever. That is why they say 45-50 degrees. It is impossible to be perfect.

Where can I find the Gator bracket/End Bracket? I searched with no results.
Permanent Foundation. How about describing HUD/FHA/VA permanent foundation explanation?

Even if they are not required, it is a very good idea to do it.
I don't think that it would be permitted in. most read. They're such eyesores.

wrapping the strap around the frame is not proper according to HUD guidelines and 15c.1
I have no hurricane tie downs on my house
