Mike…I know nothing about mobile homes, but…
I think I'm safe in saying NO. AAV's in this sort of install are supposed to be 4" minimum above the horizontal branch/arm. I've never seen one connected as in your picture, normally it would be tee'd directly off the horizontal run or tee-d at the elbow. I'm not sure that just making this one higher would be OK, but I don't think so.
Question...where are the trap(s) and is that up-slope just the photo?
Added...just found this on Oatey's Air Admittance Valves... http://www.oatey.com/apps/catalog/instance_assets/assets/Catalog_Sheet/Sure_Vent_Brochure.pdf

I knew about the four inches but I thought it was from the base to the connecting point. Thanks for your help and research! The traps were under the sinks and yes the slope is wrong.

Mike,
It's 4" above the weir of the trap, but where is the trap?
From your photo, I'd say "No, it is not correct."

Then those things are completely in the wrong place. (Because that photo was taken under the floor, right?)

Thanks Richard for the great AAV PDF link!
While I am on that subject, what about a "Members Only Resources" section?
There we could all post links to Internet Sites that offer good resource/back-up data. I will post a new thread and see where it goes!
OH, welcome Mike! Good to see you posting here.
