RV Transport Service for Class A Motorhome

Has anyone ever used a transport company to move their motorhome across the country?

Ive a 45' Monaco and tow a 20' Featherlite enclosed car hauler (with no car in it).
I want it moved from Southern CA to Central Florida in February. I also have my car (which I will drive).

I can drive it myself, but with the passing of my husband am considering having a professional do it for me.

If anyone has used a service or has any suggestions, Id greatly appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks in advance for you help.

I can fly them to me and home from Florida. I can follow behind in my car. Or I guess I could drive it myself and have the car shipped. ????

    I thought you were going to sell the coach? Crappy offers...?..

    I'd do it for you but we've already committed for the first half of this year.....before you commit to having someone drive it for you, check with your insurance company to ensure you're covered in case of a mishap. A professional driver should be licensed and bonded as well as holding a commercial driver's license. Also, a 45' coach driver in California must hold a Class B license. While driving cross country can be intimidating, staying on the Interstates should be quick, easy and safe. If you decide to make the journey yourself, PM me and I'll give you some suggestions on campgrounds.....good luck...Dennis

    I'd get somebody to drive it. If you put it on a low boy it, you will only get the coach on the low boy, not both of them, and you are looking at about $4.00 a mile per unit. Pay somebody to drive it and fly them home.

    Thanks Mr. Mark,
    I am moving to Florida and will have the trailer filled with stuff. Shouldn't weigh more than 7000#'s including trailer weight.
    Ive driven across country several times, just not without husband. Its a little intimidating.
    Thanks again!

    I understand. I was surprised that we have the same year and brand of motorhome... ours is a 42ft.

    Hope everything works out.

    I have an RV friend that is licensed to drive it for you
    Call me if you are interested. He has done it for others.

    Anita, if you can drive the motorhome and put your car in the trailer, it seems to me that you could take your time and move the motorhome to Florida yourself. There are a lot of parks that have pull-through sites, just call ahead to find out.

    You might could have a friend ride along with you for the company and then fly them home. Apparently you used to travel by motorhome, give it a try.

    Wishing the best luck,
    MM.

    PS. Sorry to hear about the passing of your husband.
