I think the 'mobile home' is an acceptable term to cover the lot. Why
is it unacceptable?
The emphasise on 'permanent' I think is wrong, but there is enough
vagueness to accept that 'mobile' means mobile.
Certainly in British English, 'mobile home' has a certain connotation
which makes it unsuitable as a catch-all term. It's virtually a
misnomer, since mobile homes, once sited, almost never move.
I must concede that, in UK legislation, the term 'mobile home' is
explicitly a synonym of 'caravan', which itself is defined as 'any
structure designed or adapted for human habitation which is capable of
being moved from one place to another (whether by being towed, or by
being transported on a motor vehicle or trailer) and any motor vehicle
so designed or adapted, but does not include— (a) any railway rolling
stock which is for the time being on rails forming part of a railway
system, or (b) any tent'.
