You can reserve that right if 1) you don't have a signed contract yet (if you do, you are limited to the terms in the contract and cannot add to or change them without the buyer's agreement); and 2) the buyer agrees to this--since normally the manufactured home goes with the land sale, in the standard transaction and contract, it would be theirs, to do with as they see fit. They'd have to specifically agree to a change in the normal contract to let you do this. But you can propose it to them, and if the agree, put it into the contract; if put into the contract, it will be legal and enforceable. 
There is nothing illegal about what you propose; it just depends on the two sides coming to an agreement.
