New 5th wheel no tow vehicle

My wife and I went seasonal this year for the 1st time in our 35'class A not realizing how much we would actually LOVE it. We are looking at trading in our class A for a 39' 5er and stay seasonal for 5 or so years, but we do not have a truck to tow it! Does anyone have a 5er and no tow vehicle?? And if so what do you do if you need to take it to a repair place or want to take it somewhere? I know there are companies that move them but would like to hear others personal experiences!! Thanks!!
  • Search Cragislist in your area. I've noticed in my area (NorCal) quite a few folks are offering RV transport services.
  • There are mobile RV repairmen at least for repairs that aren't major. So for minor fixes you can just call one of them. Warranty work is something else tho, I'd try to make arrangements with the dealer you buy your 5ver from, before buying. Get them to deliver it and agree to come to you for warranty repairs.
  • We did years ago ( in the 1980s). Had a friend tow it or had the dealer come pick it up for a fee.
