Are you sure this is electric heat? Most mobile homes have furnaces fired by gas or oil and use electricity only to run the blower motor. In those cases, yes, it is normal for the blower to run for a few minutes after the burner shuts down to allow the heat exchanger to cool down. The opposite is true when you call for heat: the burner runs for a short time to heat up the exchanger before the blower kicks in.
