Here are some welds I just did in my garage. I have not welded in
almost a year and I was trying to basically lay a bead. I know they
are probably pretty horrible:

I had a hard time with 7018. I have had all my rods in a closet in
the
house for several years. Think they have accumulated moisture? One of
the pictures is with 6013. It was a lot easier I think.
Just wondered what you thought.
I think you need a few more years practice. And don't touch any trailers
for at least ten.

Can you tell me what was wrong and how I can improve?

My advice in these circumstances because it's worked for me when I've
been struggling - go back to practicing pad-welds (you build up a
layer of weld metal on a plate by running parallel beads of weld).
Get control of this then start to move onward, little step by little
step.
The reason I say this is I think you have way too many variables in
play with what you photograph to know where to even start...
