We are moving it with a tractor, 10 miles. It isn't going to be fast!
As for the age of the trailer, it's a 1973 "all electric" Suncrest, the Axles and tires are from a 1983 Starlite.
The best way is new tires, but regular trailer tires are not compatible with the mobile home wheel. So, then you look into replacing the wheel, but find that trailer wheels are not compatible with the hubs on your mobile home axle because the bolt holes will not match up. So then you look into replacing the hubs, but find that the replacement hub/drums are not compatible with the spindles of the mobile home axle, and so on.
Anyone got an ideal on how much new tires would cost?
