The shutters
The screws holding your shutters often work loose from vibration. When they do, tighten them. If the screw holes seem stripped, fill them with a sealant like TenX. Allow the sealant to set for a few minutes. Reinstall the screws. As the sealant cures, it forms a solid bond.
Polish rust off your shutters with steel wool. Replace rusting screws with cadmium-plated ones. Paint the shutters to retard further rusting. Paint often enough to maintain the attractive appearance of your home. If you use spray paint, take the shutters off first. Wash and dry them thoroughly before any painting.
Whenever you attach address numerals or other decorations, avoid driving nails and screws into the aluminum skin. Each hole drilled in your mobile-home skin creates a leak potential. Worse danger arises if you drill or nail into electric wires. You can drill holes safely around the base of your home, for skirting. But for anywhere else, try to obtain a wiring diagram from your mobile-home manufacturer. Otherwise, play it safe: use adhesives to add decorations outside your home.
