Justifiable paranoia?

Sleepless night last night...need some help.
I just put in my new washer and dryer and am concerned about weight issues.
I'll start by giving a basic layout. It's a single wide with the master bedroom at the rear, a long hallway that runs along the outside wall up to the living room and kitchen. Off the hallway from the master (in order) is the bathroom, then 2 bedrooms...typical layout.
I removed the washer and dryer that was here when I bought the place and purchased a stackable unit. Total weight approx. 350-360 lbs. They are placed in the bathroom on the other side of the hallway wall, about 3 feet in from the outside of the 12 foot wide trailer.
Another weight issue (I love big antique furniture, lol) is in my master bedroom I have a 6 foot tall wardrobe that has been converted to hold a TV. The wardrobe weights about 120 lbs, the TV is a 36 inch tube style that pushes 170 lbs.
The wardrobe and the stackable washer and dryer are in separate rooms, but right on the other side of the same wall from eachother.
So estimating 650lbs in a centered area is how much of a bad thing?lol
The floors are 1 inch particle board. The bathroom has had 1/4 inch luan laid before the new lino, then a 1/2 piece of plywood under the stackable unit...
