Moving mobile homes...?

November 2007 we had a NEW mobile home built to our specifications. They are not like the old boxy trailers you find but has actual real walls and is nicer then some actual houses. We are currently leasing a lot from hubby's step father where our trailer now resides. We are horse people and an acreage that we have been wanting to come up for sale has just become available so we are hoping to move the trailer since it is only a year old and in pristine condition. The land we are looking at has no house but everything is ready to be hooked up to a home, plus it is only about a 2-3 miles out of the hamlet. does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to have the trailer moved? It was included in the building price when we had the place built so I have no idea what it would cost. any ideas? I am located in ALberta canada and i have seen some pretty scary older trailers being moved so i know it can't be a horrible amount or the trailer wouldnt be worth it.

1. There are a lot of if's here. Did they leave the axles and tongue under it when it was set up? Is the lot where it is dry enough to get a truck in there? Why don't you call a mobile home dealer or mover to come out and give you a quote?
2. You should just get an estimate. They aren't usually more than $1000 to move if you have wheels and tongue on it. The bigger cost will be getting utilities hooked up. I have known people to move them a few miles by themselves with a tractor.
