Moving a 5th/W
A friend of mine has someone who needs a 5th/W moved about 280mi. What do you think I should get money wise. It's only one way.

My cousins husband ask me to pull a 5th wheel home for him he had just bought. He did not have his 5th wheel hitch installed yet. I readily agreed but after arriving at the site where he bought it problems begin to surface. I got stuck up trying to move it onto the paved road. This took a couple of hours and lots of work to get it unstuck plus my truck was a mess. Then I noticed that the brakes apparently did not work on the trailer, it shoved me down the road on hills. Then just before we got it to his house, a tire blew out!! Upon closer examination I noticed all the other tires had sidewall cracks, I'm surprised we made it with only one blow out.
So just be careful, know the shape of the unit you are pulling and realize the legal implications of an accident or other breakdown.
