Don't know what mobile home you are talking about but all the ones I have been in, the wind whistles right through them as if the thing was made of Swiss cheese..

As far as the OPs question, unless the drier is gas fired (OP said no cord came with it which means it is a 240V electric drier and not gas fired) it will most likely be fine with no "make up" outside air.
Supplying outside air may help the drier work a bit easier expelling the hot moist air outside when installed in a very air tight shell home. However bringing in extreme cold outside air in winter and hot humid air in summer can affect how long it takes to dry the loads.
If you don't feel comfortable in not following manufacturers instructions then add the outside air.
