A 10x36 will only wiegh about 10k, empty. Depends on you road way width of how much problems you'll have. You'll need your mirrors out past the MH width. A piece of 1-1/2sq tubing works well for temporary extending the mirrors or modified clamp on fender/door mounted mirrors.
Use the center line to judge your side clearances. Always take what roadway you need and the other vehicles will move. It's just like playing "chicken" when you were a kid.
I pulled a 14x75 (25kGVW) from Colorado to Arizona, about 650miles, one time with a 1-1/2 ton Dodge. That was a feat in and half as Colorado roadways are only 12ft wide on the route that DOT "required" me to take.
Your pilot cars must block the roadway when you need all the roadway or the other cars will go around your pilot car. This happened to me on Slick Rock pass in Colorado.
I had sent the pilot car(my Dad) ahead to the top of the pass to block all traffic. I gave specific instructions to pull sideways accross the roadway to block traffic. He didn't do that.
I'm in a sharp right hand corner with my tractor in the burm ditch on the left side of the road and my trailer just misssing the right side guard rail doing 10mph when here comes a semi truck blowing down the grade.
I have my tractor just over the center line but my trailer is still in the left lane as the semi approchs. The semi driver sees the mistake he's made and locks his trailer brakes and goes into the bar pit ditch and that rips open the top right side of his van trailer on the rock overhang.
As he passed my trailer end, He misses my trailer by 4". I had already opened my cab door and was ready to jump as there was only a 500ft cliff on my right side and I ain't going down there.
This was all because my pilot car didn't see a need to block the roadway and the trucker got impaitent and went around him.
I do know one thing, if I had to do it all over again, I'd hire the professionals in a heart beat.
