When in the crawl area watch out for electrical wiring and wild vermin.
Look closely for re-done poly plumbing and vapor retarders installed on the warm side in the crawlspace.
See 24 CFR 3280.

You might want to check here also for some help.

Also check you Jurisdiction for tie-down requirements.
Depends where you are inspecting. Assuming this being asked in the Canadian section perhaps consider the points offered by another Canadian inspector such as http://www.allaroundthehouse.com/lib.mno.na57.htm
I apologize Claude, I failed to notice this was in the Canadian thread, but upon reviewing the contents of your link, I do not see where inspecting a trailer in Canada is any different than here in the US.
I respond to anyone in Inachi that needs assistance, if I can help.
The poster asked a question and no listing of the geographic area was listed.
Marcel not a problem, I did not take it as an issue. I agree, however, newer codes - where applicable may be slightly different across Canada.
I also agree, a lot of common concerns from a saftey and habitability POV are shared regardless of the borders.
Cheers, Claude
