You need heat and water movement for the fish, you need light for the coral, although if it's a short enough period, they should be ok without, but I wouldn't go any more than 3 or 4 days at the most.
You should be ok keeping your fish and rock in a couple of those big rubbermaid containers.
The big concern for me would be sand, are you planning on moving any of the existing sand, how deep is the sand now, and do you plan on having sand in the new tank.
Edit.
Not sure how far whiterock is from vancouver, but here's a good deal on a 90 in van.
