All of the drawers and cabinets have a damp musty odor from years of humidity in Fl. I have tried everything, including charcoal, coffee grounds, baking soda, sachets, DampRid, etc.Does anyone have a surefire way to fix this?

Given that you're dealing with a mobile home, you may try running tower fans or similar to better ventilate these spaces. Ultimately, you may need to periodically do this, if the mobile home is not used with air conditioning, on a regular basis.
I am unaware of any dehumidifier for a mobile home, but you may try placing one inside and running it regularly, although this becomes a space issue, consumes energy, and requires regular emptying of the water holding container.
Have you tried white vinegar yet? Wipe out the interior generously with vinegar. Don't worry, the odor dissipates quickly.
