  • If this is a one time move I would look for somebody you know, or a friend who has a truck and hitch, to pay to move it for you. Who knows, they may even do it for a cup of coffee or something a bit stronger. :)

    If that is not a possibility, then check with the nearest RV dealer or campground owner who probably knows somebody who can tow it for you. I kind of doubt that a normal RV transport company will be interested in a short, one time move.

  • What you need is an RV transporter. Look them up online or ask your dealer for recommendations.

    The part you didn't specify is this a one time move, or do you intend to have it moved every time you want to camp?

    Why? If the trailer is going to a seasonal site, what would be the point of buying a truck when you only need it once? Of course it's not clear from the post what the intention is...

    Kind of what I was thinking.

    however. IF you buy it new, and since you aren't going to use it as a Travel Trailer. I would suggest a "Parks Model" Any way. You could get the dealership to deliver it. They will for a small fee.
