I'll be moving it to Florida from KY in late October. I have a friend with a 3/4 ton truck that will take it down for me. The trailer will stay in Florida. We'll use it through the winter and then put it in storage about 200 miles away in April. Before I replace my Tahoe I plan to do a test pull. My thoughts are that I've only got to travel 200 miles and I can do that on secondary roads at 40 mph if I have to. I'll also consider hiring a transporter to move it off and on the lot. There are people in our park that store their trailers locally and have them moved off and on. But I don't know of anyone moving them further.

About the last thing I would do is buy a truck to do this job!! Tons of people will do the haul for you.

2. There is absolutely no way in the world I would remotely even consider trading my Tahoe for a Dodge pick up. Oh, and I have both.
