Renting a truck for a 5th wheel

I have a Life Style 5th wheel and I am in the Houston, TX area. My tow vehicle is out of service due to a problem with the front differential. We had a trip planned for the week of February 7th but without the tow vehicle we can't make it. Does anyone know if it is possible to rent a one ton dually with a hitch installed, not a goose neck. I have checked with all the major truck rental places but no luck. The best I could do was a single axle 18 wheel tractor. Too big! Probably not going to happen, but I thought someone here might have a suggestion.

I searched for such a rental and struck out completely. This was before I bought a fiver, because I didn't know anyone who owned one, and was considering where I would be if my truck was disabled. It's a downside to owning a fiver.

Doubtful but you could maybe look into transport of the fifth wheel itself and drive a car or rent one there.
