    If you’re not near a popular RV haul route (IE are there any RV mfgs near the destination that would have haulers deadheading back from TX) then it ain’t gonna be cheap.

    I’d start with trying to find someone on a tractor forum. I got some pretty good offers from one, can’t remember which.
    And yes call rv and trailer dealers. Any business that has trailers delivered to them.
    Of course the popular hauling sites are an option. I only use those though when no better options are available since you have to weed thru the flakes and gold diggers who are quoting you.
    I could reccomend a broker I now trust that I’ve used a few times to haul vehicles and implements but you know, the RVnet brain trust would slow me on the wrist for “advertising.” Lol.


    Do tell via PM, I'm trying to weed through the gold diggers and flakes now. It seems every hauler thinks they need to gouge you for a lavish hotel room and 5 star meals along the way. It's a truck driving gig for crying out loud, not a board of directors meeting puddle jumping around the states. Ha.


    You’re welcome. Hope it works out for ya.
    Since you didn’t reply to my PM.

    Why not try to help him out using the private message feature? That way nobody would realize you are advertising whether you are or not. :W

  • Make sure that whoever does it is insured. You don't want to find out after an accident.

    A few years back the going rate was around $3 per mile. With gas prices spiking and general inflation...it's not going to be cheap.

    As someone else mentioned local dealerships are probably your best bet.
  • I would call a local dealership. There are people that transport RV's from manufacturers to dealerships all the time.
