Question
HOW TO SUPPORT A MOBILEHOME ON A HILL BUT IT'S ONLY THE BACKSIDE OF THE HOME
Kristina, you've not given me enough information to answer the question. You should consult with a trailer moving company to get their recommendation. Mobile homes need to be tied down and are usually blocked up from some form of footing. The tie downs are often screw augers driven into the ground with full length straps up and over the mobile home. The straps or cables are then tightened to securely pull the home down to the blocking.
This site has excellent information and pictures:
