Do you seal travertine tile before you grout?
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.

Can you install travertine tiles on a moble home?
Yes, you can install travertine tiles on a mobile home if the structure is stable and can support the weight of the tiles. Make sure to properly prepare the surface and use appropriate adhesive and grout for mobile home installations to account for potential movement and settling. It's also important to consider the overall weight of the tiles to avoid overloading the structure. Consulting with a professional installer is recommended for a successful installation.
What type mortar and grout do you use for travertine?
You will want to use a medium base WHITE mud for laying your tile. The medium base will allow you to make adjustments to level the tile and you must use white to prevent the mud from staining the tile. Keep in mind this is a natural stone. As far as the grout goes, I recommend using 3/16 to 1/8 spacers and make sure you use a sandless grout. A grout that has sand in it will scratch your tile when you float it in. Again, this is a natural stone. Do not forget to seal your tile immediately after installation and continue to do so as needed. Also, make sure you regularly clean your tile. If you spill anything clean it up immediately and do not use anything acidic as it will stain or discolor your tile. Other than that, you will enjoy your travertine for many, many years. Good Luck.

Can you use White grout to install porcelain tile?
Not JUST a grout no. You can get a cement that will also work as a grout but a pure grout would not have the adhesion required to stick the tiles to the wall properly, you should not use it as a cement.
