We are having our mobile home moved to another lot. It depends how close the mover gets it to the parks water hookup if my line will be long enough. Any recommendations on what to extend/replace the supply/feed line with. Not sure whats there now cause it's still wrapped up with insulation and heat tape.
Thanks
God Bless.

Either 3/4 or 1" PEX is what I would use. Remember the larger the supply line the more FLOW (not pressure) you will have available.

You don't want to use PEx exposed outside of your home. Some parks may require metal pipe. It might be best to ask the park manager. In any event, it should be a quick and easy connection.

My county requires pex as one of the options to meet county code. Funny that they nixed 1" black poly water supply line, and which is kinda, ahem, the standard.

And smoking weed is legal in WA now... For county code changers too I guess

I believe PEx can be used most anywhere. It is just not supposed to be exposed to sunlight. Also, I have never seen it used outside in the shade, like under an awning.
