My response:

Wouldn't it much easier to roll the trailer just a few feet to the left?

My response:

Georgia doesn't have any brick and mortar, cement foundation, homes. They are all pre-fab, manufactured homes. Manufactured homes still have axles. If you look under the aluminum skirting of the "home", you'll see a series of axles. All you need to do is buy the proper quantity of wheels and tires, install them, and hitch the "home" up to your pick-up truck. Move it gently. You wouldn't want to break any of those little faux porcelain knick-knacks you bought from the T.V. shopping channel.
