reroofing a 1978 Bendix double wide

Can anyone tell me if I have to take the old shingles off or can I put the new ones over the existing roof without the roof collapsing?

Most home roofs will carry two layers of shingles with out any problem.

You've got a lot of new choices today for manufactured home roof replacement. New engineered shingles are made to look like cedar or tile. Even metal roofs, the old standby for barns, have made a comeback with new colors, styles, and 50 year maintenance-free life expectancy. Read - "Time to do something about your Roof ?
