Hello ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm new to this forum and new to the rv society, but I really need to ask question someone who has done that before.

I have some land in the forest and want to build something there, now it's 2hrs away from the city so If I can sleep there overnight that would be awesome.

There is a guy ~20miles away at the lake resort who is selling me his old 36ft trailer-house. I got people who can move it but they told me to make sure the tires are good and the trailer is unblocked etc (remove the skirt, and the blocks it's standing on)

Now the trailer is a bit old from 84 but there is no smell there at all - people lived there every summer. It stayed on that lot for the last 12 years and when I checked the tires they old looked bad, but 2 out of 4 seemed not flat ๐Ÿ™‚

Now, I've changed my tires and breaks on the cars all the time, but that thing is 36 feet long and seems big. If you have done that kind of work before - is there good advice you have?

This is how the weels look on it, the right one is flat, the left one is hard but both are over 12 years old and have to be replaced

any tire over 5 years old need replaced, they dry rot and you do not want then blowing. That will cause damage to the trailer and could damage plumbing, electrical, and the body. Changing a tires changing a tire nothing different, pull the wheels, take them to a tire shop get some tires and go back and put them on. Brakes are likely rusted and would need some work, what's the guy moving using to move it? An older 36ft will be heavy.
