Answer 1

Check your area for a house moving company.  Depending on the size, you're probably talking thousands, and may be more than the home is worth.  Also, older units don't fair well when moved off their original placement, as roofing materials and seam sealers dry out and will crack when the frame of the unit is flexed during moving.

Answer 2

I'm in trucking, but I don't move mobile homes.

Just a guess, but I would think it would be $4.00/mile or more.  Due to the size, the state(s) will have to issue permits for movement, which will add to the cost.  Go to Mapquest.com and find the mileage between the two cities.  Multiply that by at least four.  That's likely your minimum cost.

My advice would be to sell it, and buy another that is already in your area.  FWIW

If you do decide to move it, go to a couple of mobile home sales lots in your area and ask who they would recommend for the move.  Get lots of quotes, as they could vary greatly.
