So the electric water heater and dryer are on the same 'load' - and perhaps it's shot.
Thank you for your time, and your input.

To be fair with you I really suggest you get ahold of electrician due some case I know from my past expernice which I allready dealt some of them used alum underground cable.
The last one I did it have #6 alum conductors and that person did used 70 amp breaker { I am not kidding } and burnt a bit of conductors in the box end up replaceing it with proper cable and with correct breaker size and after that never have any more issue with it.
How old is this mobile home is ? if less than 10 year old it should have 100 amp main breaker in there as long it have proper cable size there.
Some of mobile home parks pretty good percentage still use the #6 { it will come in either Alum or copper cable } with 60 amp on it.
Over the time the connections can get loosen up and get hot it can make the breaker tripped much earlier than it should.
