I got a call back from the B3 company last night. For them to send a man from Washington to AZ towing my trailer/tractor - and then get the man back up to WA. . .estimated cost: $3,500.
If they have a paying return job it would cost less.
I called U-haul for an estimated cost on a one-way pickup truck rental and got an estimated cost of $710.
That plus two hotel overnight stays for me plus food might run (my estimate) $275. (Assuming driving 500 miles a day)
Fuel cost? $350 maybe.
Flight back to WA - $200 to $250 maybe.
Airport to home transportation: $30
So my estimated DIY cost would run about $1600 out of pocket - plus my time - time driving a rental, sleeping in hotels and eating road food. . .
No, I can't tow a jeep behind the trailer. If wife drives the Jeep then it adds another fuel expense and more stops along the way. (and maybe charges of aggravated assault).:M
On the plus side, having the camper might mean avoiding hotels and eating better. Plus no required return flight. Yup, that's most cost effective.
