Buying or renting? There are certain loans to help people with certain qualifications. Renting is a waste of money, usually buying is lees than renting and you will eventually own it!
Depends on how much the payment is, if there is any other income in the household. That's about $1600. a month gross. minus the taxes will be about $1000. to make payment, elec. water, phone, food, clothing & necessities.
I don't see how with everything else that is needed to maintain the home and family.
They might be eligible for assistance on other things which might help the budget. And how well they budget! It would be very very hard! Kids will definitely do without a lot of things which could lead to other problems at school and self esteem issues!

She has to get some kind of assistance from the state $600 rent plus 2 kids and she just make $320 a week and that doesnt even include taxes and what not taken out, it would be extremely tight, but I have always said its not how much you make its what you do what the money you have, but even I can see the figures and tell she must be getting some kind of aid some where

Depends on how much the trailer costs each month and how many people will be living in it in terms of water, electric, etc.
Look at your check stub for a full week. Write that down. Under it, start subtracting the cost of living there, rent, lights, water, etc. See what you have left and determine if the left over amount will be enough for gas, food, etc.

you can barely raise two kids on $8 an hour. id be surprised if you dont use EBT or WiC. so i believe its close to impossible. unless you work 50 hours a week

Welfare helps, I'm sure. And having a second job surely would help. Are you gonna try marrying this guy?!?!?! Please don't have kids. There's too many in the world already!
Peace
