I built a tiny house on a 7.5' x 14' dual-axle trailer rated for 7000 lbs. To get a little more square footage inside, I built the walls out 6" from the edges of the trailer. The house is 8.5' wide x 15' long. The peak of the roof is 13' 4". The trailer bed is about 30" off the ground. The house sits on the bed, entirely above the wheels. Trailer is handmade, heavy duty steel and in good condition.

From the photos below, can anyone give me their opinion on whether this is safe to take on the road? I have a buyer 3 hours away who is having "a friend with a pickup" tow it off my land. I don't have any personal experience with towing trailers.

Other tidbits:
- 2 of the 4 tires are dry-rotted and will be replaced prior to the trip
- Brake lights will be moved closer to the back wall of the house
- trailer has brakes
- 2-5/16" ball hitch

Thanks!
