The inspector carefully explained how the vent did not meet code on the  water heater for the mobile home. I know this  doesn't work for normal stick built homes but it appears that there is a draw vent on roof of the mobile home.    This seems to be an acceptable practice in the mobile home.

My seller was upset because the water heater passed inspection (venting and all) in 2004 and has not been changed.  She showed me the old inspection report.  I have emailed the inspector and hopefully he will have an answer for me later today (after church).  Are there different codes and standards for mobile homes then stick built?  It would make sense mobile homes have less pipe to the roof.
