Wink PARK MODEL TRAILER

I need to move one of these about 10 miles for a friend, I understand it weighs about 10k lbs-I have a LATE '99 F350 with a 7.3 Diesel and a 14k w/d hitch, is there any problem doing this that I'm not aware of? Thanks!

IF it weighs 10K the weight might be doable, but I think they are over 8' wide which means a permit etc. In reality it depends on the 10miles. Hook it up and see how it feels.

If it's a park model it should only be 8 to 8.5 ft wide so no permit needed and all of them that I have seen have brakes so you just need a controller and make sure the lights work also check to see the condition of the tires.

Assuming this is not a double-wide, I do not think you will have a problem.

Guys, Thanks for all the imput! I had a chance on this but they wanted me to do all the teardown in removing the power, water, sewer, skirting, tie-downs, ect,ect, so I bowed out....too much work involved for what I wanted to do.
