A plastic vapor barrier is a good idea in any climate. Consider that there 
might be underground plumbing leaks in the future.

I have zero experience with mobile homes but if I were installing one I 
would have a vapor barrier installed first, then covered with several 
inches of sand, then put the interior support piers on top of that. It is 
very difficult to seal a vapor barrier around interior supports.

Also consult with local builders and see if it makes sense to install vents 
in your brick wall when you build it.
