Don't buy a heavy door, buy a hollow door and then stain it or do it with a wood panel and stain, I have seen it in mobile homes and it looks good, hollow doors are not heavy and so hanging it on the hardware works well, you can even put two together if they are hollow if you want a wider door to separate , if you open a wall to make the room larger then when you do the barn door you can still close it off if you want to, it works and looks good.

Hey. Found a video that could be helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4itc8xPcJ0w Think you should avoid using a heavy door because it might damage the frame of the mobile home. Also, if you want some more help/guidance, I like to use hellodwelling.com because they provide one on one advice with real time video chat that I find super helpful.
Yes a barn door can be installed however you'll want to "beef up" the area where the barn door hardware is attached so you have a very sturdy base for the door. You can buy the hardware online.
