I have another question about the Laws when trying to install a c-band dish. I am thinking of getting a 1.8m dish and also looking at some mobile homes which I'm trying to get. Will the kind of dish allowed or it varies by each mobile home community rules. Thanx for reading.

yes i'm sure it varies for place to place . since you just in the looking stage. Scouting for your best place with a LOS and if possible concealment of dish would be in best interest , so keep that in mind a place that has a front door facing north and a back yard with a southern line of sight would be nice. I know whith the area your in your really limited unless you can get out a bit more rural area. but most mobile home parks rent trailers and spaces so stop in and look a few over and talk to the owner 
good luck

I will ask the property management of the place I find to make sure it is allowed before going for any home I will be buying. Thanx everyone for your comments
Get in writing what is allowed.
Take dated pictures, before and after installs.
If you have a deeded lot for an RV and you rent out your space, Mark the Zero point (south) on your dishes. (Good Idea anyway).
Keep your cables and other wires safe/ not hazardous and protected. Most parks have landscapers and kids. Either can be harmed or harm your EQ.
Find out what your permanent LOS / view will be - get it in writing - with pictures.
There are some communities that have set aside areas for dishes - usually for the subscription services, however, but one down near Ocean Shores was setting up fixed KU dishes, dual out LNBFs and switches for about a half dozen of the vacation lots. Nice when your "yard" is only 14 feet wide and 50 feet deep. He also had cable at some spots you could connect to for a fee. We boondock most of the time, but we stayed at that park two days for Laundry and repairs, but stayed free two weeks, for helping him redo his cable ends.

Took this picture tonight, made a special trip to a town nearby. The home with the mesh BUD looks far better than a few other trailers that had only a 3 1/2" OD pole with wires hanging off it, as if it had been picked clean by vultures.
some time ago I saw a big dish disguised under what looked like a patio umbrella. I wonder if you could use that material sold in Home Depot that is thin and used for weed control.
If you have a spot that you could put a picnic table - the kind with the hole in the middle, and you sewed up a facsimile of a patio umbrella, you might get away with it. Pretty close quarters in a mobile home setting though.

In addition to the trailer park having rules against BUDs, even the city could have an ordinance outlawing BUDs. I know it is hard to believe, but there are some people out there that hate a BUD that is blocking their only view.

If trees were satellite dishes, people would want to outlaw them, too. And as we all know, when trees are outlawed, only outlaws will have trees...
I have seen some of these mobile homes and the communities in my area here and i was impressed. That's why I was interested in it and they are not trashy as what people think. Some of them cost up to $125,000 for a three or four bedrooms. I hope the one I liked will allow installation of a c-band bud
Absolutely, there are some nice mobile home communities here in my region. I also hope you can have a BUD, the black mesh ones to me look pleasing and can be found for not much cash, or even free. A brand new steel dish can look nice, too.
Had to go to court the other day - the guy with the signed paper and the pictures WON! Thank you! Now to collect on the damages. 
You need to quit watching Cops on tv. I take offense, I live in a mobile home community.
I manage one plus another rental. The stick built has far more problems. I have several associates that own mobile home parks / communities and/or RV parks. This property was to be set up as an RV park, but the requirements re: power and sewer changed so much that it is not happening now. But still working on making it a Bible Camp Retreat.

Mobile home parks have hundreds and hundreds of WIRES IN THE GROUND! Watch out!
However, if you own your property, you can legally erect and maintain a BUD; as long as the property you own is in America, and there are no lines of site into your property from neighbors (fences rule). City Laws can be pre-empted using the Grandfather clause if you have owned one. And most City Law can only make you get a variance permit for your property's new addition for a back yard that has full 8' fencing. If you live in the "covenance" neighborhoods where everything is coded "as to what you can and cannot do"; in community property's you can "install a pool table set" using the satellite dish as a sun shade; or if you can find one; they used to make a 6 foot solid dish inside a Plastic Rock that moved to all satellites!
I live in a mobile home; but it is located outside of any park or city. Other than the other square mile, it is Country, and deer and elk run all over; and nobody has ever seen a mobile home like i have with 32 satellite dishes he/she didn't like! And it is where i live! Actually I think I have more than 32; but who's counting for me?
And with what I can do for you is the above work; the materials to do so cost quite a bit. And with a pit, you can hide the dish too; nobody will ever see it!

In my area we have two flavors of mobile home parks. We have gated nice ones with lots of rules, landscaping, security, etc. we have the trashy ones.
Trailers are not a cheap alternative to a home anymore. In this area i can build a small average home cheaper than purchasing a new mobile home.
