I want to remove a wall between kitchen and dining room....it is a manufactured home, however, and I need to know if it is safe to do so.

Manufactured home? if you do not have an attic ( flat roof) then I would consider every wall load bearing. The "Mobil Home" builder can usually supply the best answer.

the only way is to tear in to the ceiling and see if it is one. you have to look at the wall from the top to see. if you have a peak roof you might be able to go thought one of the ends of the house to see it.
I would contact manufacturer.
I would ask a professional before I tear into it.
