I need help i need to move a trailer home from rawlins to baggs if any one knows how or someone who does this tell me

Get ahold of any trailer sales outfit and they'll know exactly how to do it, if not doing it themselves. They can't sell if they can't move them.

May not be in Rawlins, but check Casper, Rock Springs, Green River, and Laramie and you'll find something. Any trailer sales place.

Having done this several times. Get everything in writing if you can. And get a definate date for this to be done. They will promise the moon. But if it comes to moving one they just sold or will sell. Your second on the list. And make sure up front they have extra tires and people that can take the trailer and unblock it and set it at the other end.
Word of experience If you want to save money. Take skirting off, check axels for turning, they should turn very easy. Maybe even repack the greese bearings, take out the foundation blocks so the ones are left on the ends and say every eight feet. This is so the trailer is still fairly level. Look over the way you will have to take the sewer pipes off. Also check the insulation hanging off the bottom floor joists. Is it going to make the ride? Check on how you will have to take the electric off. Is it a plug or will someone have to shut off the power and go into the box and take the wireing out? You might have to do it, or get a electrician. This can cost alot after hours or on a weekend. Do you still have a hitch on the front? To be pulled with. Get everything off the walls, have a way to close the cabinets, doors, ect. Things that swing can be torn off hinges with the shake of the trailer on the road. And you shouldn't have anything in the cabnets, it might bang on the doors and get them open and fall out. Do you have anything mounted on the top of the trailer? Swamp cooler, A/C, ect? Is it secure? Check all appliances, can they maybe fall over or bang against the wall? Is the frame on the trailer strong enoug to take the pull south. Maybe the only way to check this is to take all the blocks out from under it and see how bad it bows down. Use this as a last resort to check. The moving company should be able to tell you. But be prepaired for bad news. Secure the water heater door with wood screws. Not to come open and swing going down the road.
Off hand that is all I can remember on moving in a trailer. I have had some moving companies move my trailer homes. But......
Back in the old days of the oilpatch we'd move/see others going down the road with a 3/4 ford or chevy. Towing a 65 foot house trailer. That was the only way to move to the next job following them rigs around.
