moving a 44ft race trailer
#31
I would purchase a set of tires on wheels and plan on swapping them on the spot. Bearings can be repacked while the wheels are off and the brakes can be looked at and adjusted while in there. Then it's just a matter of checking the lights and the brake system out and heading on down the road. The biggest issue with sitting is the rusting of the frame if it has been out in the weeds or something similar.
Temporary lights can be had inexpensively, and if you trust your trucks brakes the trip can be made. Just would need to be extremely careful, and I would not advise it.

I can't see it taking more than a couple days to get it road worthy.
Pictures of the trailer if you can; I like the nostalgic set up.

This would be my plan. Make sure the wheels aren't some oddball size beforehand (if you aren't going down there with them). Be a shame to get down there and have nothing available locally. If you're bringing the mastermind behind the braking system, I really don't see that being an issue either. If the lights are FUBAR, just go with some temporary.
