Travel bars are bars that go between inside face of slideout and wall when slideout is retracted for travel.

Purchase or make your own.
Closet pole rod cut to fit tight with rubber stoppers on each end
As mentioned...TIRES
and lube up those slideout seals so they don't tear when moving slide
(303 Protectant ......silicone spray)
And you will need a good fully charged battery to operate slides, provide power for trailer brakes (if rig should come unhooked in tow) plus any 12V DC devices
Battery location...
If this is a 5th wheel....probably in front compartment
If this is a travel trailer......should be on front tongue
And I would bet those brakes are rusted up.
