Truck with 5th wheel hitch to rent near Tampa?

[Globetrotter]

Hi. We are considering acquiring a 5th wheel trailer this winter while in Florida and leaving it in storage for the 6 months we are not there. We do not want a truck given we will use the unit solely on an rv site for 6 months, then 6 months in storage.
Before we get to that point we need to understand how easy/difficult it may be to rent a truck with a 5th wheel hitch for a day to do the relocation every 6 months.
We will be in the Homosassa Springs area about an hour north of Tampa. So even a supplier out of Tampa would work.
If you have any leads in these regard I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Some parks (like the one we stay at in that area) will let you be 6 and 6 but leave the trailer on site all year. So you get to use it up to 182 days a year and that doesn't have to be contiguous.

I agree with the above post. I have moved an RV for some one a couple of times. Keep in mind that an individual like myself is uninsured for moving someone's RV. I would ask the dealer to re recommend an insured person for the delivery and setup.

Canadians here in south-TX do exactly the same thing you are wanting to do. Most RV mobile repair services also will move RV's from point-a to Point-b and do the setup/level. I think they charge about $120-$150.

Bet you could find someone in the park that would move it for you for free (or a beer, lol). I just did that for friends last week.

Make sure that person isn't stoned, drunk or hungover when you actually use him.

You might just want to check with a local RV dealer or truck repair shop near Homosassa Springs/Crystal River that would be willing to move it for you. It would probably be less expensive than renting a truck.

Make sure you visit Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge - Three Sisters Springs Boardwalk to see the manatees.
