I live in a mobile home park. Just recently I turned on my garbage disposal and the crackling of electricity made me rush to turn it off. I noticed smoke down the hall in my laundry…..my dryer exhaust vent had caught fire. The smell of burning wire was extreme. Management said it was the wiring in my walls. Everytime I tried to turn something on it would cause my overhead lights to brighten than blow. I got scared and left. 11 days later they fixed the corroded neutral. My question is because of the excessive uncontrolled electricity flowing through my trailer are the existing wires damaged? Some appliances only partially blew while other's got fried. Why?

This is a short question for a long answer. I am going to assume that you live in a mobile home or manufactured housing unit that has aluminum wiring in it. And what you are experiencing is the eventual deterioration of that type of system.
You need to inspect and repair all of the wiring termination, starting from you panel and continue all the way to your last outlet. If you do not feel you have the experience to complete the task yourself I would advise you find a trusted contractor and employee them to do it.
I am sorry to deliver the bad news but your situation requires immediate inspection and repair to prevent further damage to your system. It may be at an expense you were not prepared but I feel it must be dealt with.
Sorry to deliver the bad news. I wish you the best of luck.
