Can you get a Ada approved toilet in your mobile home?

You can change any regular toilet for a handicapped, or ADA toilet. I have done it many times in houses and in Mobile Homes. The basic difference is the ADA approved ones are 2" higher. - Every major toilet manufacturer makes such a toilet. You can also buy raised seats by many manufacturers. -Look on sites like e-Bay for examples. These lock onto the toilet and some even have handles.

Is the base of an ADA toilet the same size as the standard toilet or I guess the real question is would I have to change the hole in the floor for the ADA toilet?

Assuming you have a standard toilet now, it will bolt on the same way in the same position. ADA are just taller floor to seat. Most toilets are 12 inches from the back wall to the center of the drain. Older ones, before 1940 or so were 14 inches and I have come across a few odd ones that are 9 inches.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a set of standards to make things safe and accessible for disabled persons.
