It's been 6 years since I've made the trip Florida to Washington, but I have some idea about what is involved. But still a bit nervous about making the trip without an experienced second driver. But loved the traveling cross country.
Here's my calculations so far:
$3800 lowest bid for hauling my TT from Florida to Washington via transport service. $400 to ship dogs via air, $600 my ticket to fly out there. So about $4800 hard costs for sure. Still would have to buy a vehicle when I get out there so truck cost would be a wash either way, (except maybe a bit cheaper in Florida)
Guessing about $1000 in fuel to tow TT out there myself. Plus $200 in food, $200 in campground fees, would stay in Walmart parking lots about half of the time or more. Other expenses $300. So total of about $1700 to do it myself.
