I have a 32' sunnybrook trailer and am looking to rent a 3/4 ton truck to tow it. I live in the new York Metro area. Any ideas ?
I can't tell how long you want to rent, or for what purpose (short haul, out of state haul, etc.), but I think you may have a hard time finding something to meet your needs. Do you have your own brake controller, or does the rental unit need to have one? Do you have your own hitch with WD bars and sway control?
Again, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, you might be money and stress ahead to go to one or more camper dealers in your area and have them put you in touch with a delivery guy. These guys bring campers out from Indiana, etc. and return empty. They would be thrilled to get a paying load on the return leg or any portion thereof, I'd bet.
Finally, an ad on Craigslist might get you connected with someone with a truck sitting around doing nothing that wouldn't mind renting it out. You never know. Heavy equipment rental places sometimes place their own ads there, as well.
Good luck.
