They use 3/4 OSB.

  Having lived in a mobile home for a couple years, I can say that a large part of my hatred for OSB/particle board comes from that house. It seems pretty much every mobile home i've ever been in suffers from sponge floor, which is the OSB degrading to the point that the carpet is providing more structural support. Eventually the flooring gives way, and its becomes possible to stick ones floot through the floor. When I was living in that home (as a Highschool student) one of the things I spend many hours doing is ripping up the floors and replacing them with actual plywood, which seems to be significantly more robust when used as a flooring material.

  I've actually never seen OSB for a mobile home sub floor. A couple times it's been plywood but other than that it's always been press board.
