I don't think driving back and forth for years is a workable solution. A tank is something you keep for your enjoyment and this sounds like a very inconvenient and expensive "solution" to your dilemma. I would set up a small nano to keep your favourite corals and small fish, but sell off the rest, including the equipment if you have no place to store them. Sounds like you wouldn't have room at your place to store the tank even if its empty. Get a nice AIO (like a RSM) and actually enjoy your hobby instead of dreading the drive back and forth and doing maintenance at someone else's house.

For myself, I don't get how you have a whole new house and not enough room for even a 33g tank. Is that because he has too much stuff and is unwilling to give up any of it so you can set up a tank? We have a small two bedroom groundfloor suite and I have had close to 1000g of tanks setup in here. Just something to make me go "hmmmmmm".

I agree with Sea Horse Fanatic, set up a Smaller nano tank for your enjoyment at your home and sell off all of it. Start up new once you get into a bigger place, chances are equipment in the hobby will be improved upon when you start again.
There's my 2 cents worth, good luck.

I will also agree with SHF, and Clown lover. A tank is definetly for your enjoyment. I wouldn't want to set up my tank at someones house 30 mintues away it would kill me.

IMO I would sell and rebuy when you can and have the space. If you can a nano might fill the "dry" void and still give you somethign to look at. I know when I moved from 6 - FW Tanks to have 1 - 20G Planted it gave me a chance to improve and make the one tank super nice and it has been my nicest tank thus far as my time and energy was solely based on one tank and not 6. or 20G and not 200G+.
