I have the 18" clearance for singlewall pipe. I purchased the 24 inch ceiling support box for a manufactured home and I was told I had to use double wall. I wanted the extra heat from the single wall pipe. Is there much of a difference?
Wood stove install. Double wall stove pipe or single?

Obviously there is going to be SOME difference, hence the different clearance requirements. I have double wall, and my grandmother has single wall, for example, and I spend time in both houses. I can't tell you that the single wall is a major source of heat. Like you, she simply has the necessary clearances for it.
I would go with the manufacturer's requirement. This should help you comply with their requirements and would, I think, benefit you if you had any future insurance claims, etc.

If you have the clearance and a good draft I would go with the single wall, I believe the general guide lines are you can use up to 8 ft of single wall pipe.
Most manufactured homes are single story. That usually means a shorter stack. Use double wall to keep the flue gases hotter. It will help the flue draft better and stay cleaner.

plus, code requires it, and
stove to be secured, have outside air, and be properly grounded!
