    it would be done the exact same way as any heating system is piped and connected.It would be just like adding an extention to your house . however your boiler may not be big enough (btu output) to heat the house and mobile home at the same time and it will increase your usage of oil.
    I would start by making sure your boiler has the correct capacity.Design the most efficent system for alterations.get quotations.commence project.
    If you want a recomenation for an assesment and design plan and bill of costs. pm myself.

    hi marcanthony; thanks for the advice I was hoping to do the heating separate from the house because its gas heated, and I figured I'd go with oil would you be able to give me a ball park figure???

    Hi I put in heating system for my parents mobile home, they have oil in the house but the mobile was a fair distant away at other side of garden and i decided it would be easier to just put in separate boiler and just connected to same oil tank. I used 1 of them small firepack outside boilers near the mobile and just simply plumbed all rads to it using a filling valve from mains and exp vessel. but biggest problem is to be careful with freezing conditions when you have it in, all the radiators burst inside the mobile last winter with the extreme conditions. my parents are going to make sure its drained down when ever not in use in winter for now on
