Help moving trailer

I purchased a new truck last August. Due to serious health issues I was not able to get my hitch installed in the new truck. I need to purchase new rails and have placed the order. My brother has agreed to install the hitch for me once all the parts are here.

My problem is that the storage yard where I have it stored is closing down the storage to make room for the Marcus Shale trucks in the area. They have given me to Mid week to have my 5th wheel removed.

The total mileage from the storage yard to my house is 6.3 miles and 12 minutes travel time. I have tried searching online but cannot find a rental truck with a 5th wheel hitch. I contacted where I bought the unit and they do not offer that type of service.

I live in Washington PA just south of Pittsburgh. Can anyone recommend a rental company or a service that can pull my 5th wheel from the storage yard to my house?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dave

  • I am on the other side of the state , IF I was within an hour or 2 , I would do it...
    Like stated , try a local campground.. first ask the front desk if they know anyone...
  • Go to a campground near you and ask someone to help you out. You should expect to pay them for the move.
  • Check the Craig list and/or post an AD. In Austin, TX, someone keeps posting an AD for moving campers for you under RV section. Tow Tuck can move it for you as well. If you are a member of Good Sams Roadside service, they may be able to tell you. Heck, it may even be covered to have it move, but I doubt it.
  • C'mon, there has to be someone in this rv.net family that can help dpgllg. if I lived nearby I'd pull it for you but MN is a long way from Pittsburg.

    Who has a rig in PA that can help him out?

    I did contact the only local dealer and this is where I purchased it and they could not help me.

    Thanks!
