Pigeon Forge TN - Need assistance moving 5th Wheel

Long story short, my TV had a catastrophic fuel delivery system failure. It is at a dealer getting repaired and is estimated to take "days to repair" according to the dealer. The campground I am currently at needs me off my site Friday by Noon. I found another campground close by (3 miles) that has an open site (which was a miracle giving the time of year in the Smokies). Looking for a fellow GS member in Pigeon Forge that would be able to move my 5th wheel Thursday or Friday (October 5th - 6th). Please PM if you can assist.

The 5th Wheel is a 40Ft Jayco Pinnacle. Scaled at 13800 lbs.

Thanks in advance.
  • Thanks for the replys so far. Please be sure I am exploring all suggestions completely, to include the suggestion of re-posting outside of the Good Sam Emergency Road Service Forum more specific to PG forum members, which I thought made a lot of sense. Here is an update.

    Current CG suggested ERS which was the purpose of posting in the ERS forum. I got a PM from ERS that offered assistance in locating a local towing company (pending).

    I have approached a few fellow campers in the current CG (with appropriate TV), all were leaving Thursday or Friday. Will approach some new arrivals today.

    Called two local tow services. One was an answering service and I have not heard back. The other "was not sure" he had the 5th Wheel hitch". Calling a third company today.

    Campground and local RV Repair service provided the name of an individual that had moved RVs in the past and I am waiting for a call back.

    Will be contacting local GS Chapter today. Not sure why I did not think of that myself.

    The good news for you is Since you are at a CG.

    Go to the office and ask the manager/owner of the CG who they use to move RV's. And/or call the CG you are moving to.

    Almost all CG's use this service and they will know who in the area is reputable.

    I sent you a private message.

    This is the second time you started a thread with the same issue. You had some very good suggestions with the first thread. Why didn't you just use those suggestions?


    Even got that 1st post re-opened after several questioned WHY it was closed 'due to inactivity' -----and post was only 1 day old
  • Keep your second recitation of the same issue so short you post only once. Long story...short.
  • I feel for you and would happily move it for you if I was closer.

    Maybe calling a local RV dealer to see if they have any contacts that could move it would be an idea.
