Try throwing some moth balls under your home. They usually do not like the smell. Just make sure you do not have any pets that can get them.
We had coons in our shed. We tried what the wildlife people told us to try. Leave a light on, play music. They thought it was a 3 star hotel :). What actually worked was ammonia. We left a pail of it in there and they scampered.
When we bought our house, we had raccoons living in the top of our garage. A box of moth balls did the trick. A mommy raccoon and three babies. The mom was able to relocate her family.
When we called animal control we were told raccoons are euthanized because they have round worms that lives in their feces. Animas and even humans(sand boxes) can possibly ingest these worms with fatal side effects.
My neighbors had raccoons enter their house through their dog door. They used loud music and bright lights and that did the trick for them.
You can put the moth balls inside a piece of panty hose and tie it to keep other critters from accidently eating them.
When you do finally get rid of the critters you need to make sure the skirting on your mobile home is tight without any holes for them to get in again. We have lived in a mobile home park for 16 years.
