How do I fix a sagging mobile home ceiling?
We live in a 1970 something single wide mobile home, the ceiling is sagging pretty bad, are there any fixes short of tearing the whole ceiling down?

Hard to give good advice without knowing something about the construction of the ceiling and why it sagged. Those really were the dark days before the new codes in 1977.

If its sagging there is probably water damage. The best thing to do would be remove it, repair the damage and use 3/8" drywall to replace the ceiling.
