The outfit is illegal as the Hobby is too wide.
The police or VOSA may stop you.
Who knows what will happen? You may have to get a suitable tow vehicle before you can go on your way. You may be prosecuted.
You may get a warning.

Anything with a Gross Vehicle Weight in excess of 3500 kgs..a Hummer, Ford Transit 17 seater minibus...Nothing that I would class as " sensible "..Can't even be legally pulled by £60,000 worth of new Range Rover...A real problem and as beejay says VOSA are the real problem..Just one of the reason that I got rid of my 710 Hobby
