Not only are the fixtures different than those found in a house, many of the components are different as is the plumbing scheme. In many mobile homes you will not find a water shut-off at each fixture, such as the sinks and toilet. The entire mobile home may only have one or two, one located outside near the hose bib and if there is a second, it will be near the hot water tank. With this being the case, individual fixtures cannot be repaired, the entire water supply must be shut off before work can start.
