We are relocating 180 miles north of here and will need to move our 22 foot 1949 M Systems trailer which is not registered, is partially skinned and has no crank down pad on the front A frame. I was thinking of hooking it to our 1971 Bronco and hiring a low bed equipment hauler to move both the trailer and Bronco at the same time. Two birds with one stone.
Has anyone ever had to move a trailer that is not road worthy?

If you have a bit of flexibility in the time frame, for the haul, you might try U-ship. The 180 miles is not a cost prohibitive shipping distance, and the tandem haul (you might not even have to hook the M-System up to the Bronco) could be done by someone with a low boy who is making a delivery in your area and having a bit of flex in their schedule, could make the "short" delivery and then move on to his/her next longer haul. Good luck. Always happy to know one of the Mississippi M-Systems is in the hands of someone who appreciates it.

The M System is one of my all time fave trailers. Best of luck with the ,over and the restore!

We're on the move. I picked up a large tarp to cover the entire trailer and lashed it on by going back and forth underneath. Rolled it up onto a tilt bed semi truck and we're on our way.

That looks like a nicely wrapped unit. LOL

We built a 2400 sq ft barn where I could restore trailers but due to the lack of employment in the area we had to move. Now the M Systems sits all wrapped up and the Airstream, Midget trailer and our woody teardrop are stuffed under the patio overhang. One of these days I'll get another shop where I can start the projects again. Just a brief time out.

Hang in there, Breadloaf. We've all had setbacks. Thanks for sharing.

The trailer is still wrapped up and parked behind our new house. The tarp is one large square so it should protect everything until it gets a new barn. I'm not comfortable leaving it out when it has no outside skin. Especially with all the new interior wood.
