Bought New/Used TT & Pro Mover Says Can't Pull It Out!!!

[Surviver76]

Hi Guys, my girlfriend purchased a very nice 31 foot TT and unfortunately neither of us noticed that the overhead heavy wooden structure had been built up quite close to the rig after it was initially parked. We sent a pro RV Mover over to pull it from the park to our house just 14 miles away and he wants 7 to 800 bucks to "jack it up & use rollers to move it sideways" in order to merely pull it out of the spot.
I once rented a small but powerful "personal forklift" type of vehicle from Home Depot to pull in a 5th. wheel trailer where my truck would not have been able to get out of. I just needed to shunt the rig forward a little at a time and it worked. Wondering about doing something like this in this instance.
I do have Good Sam's Roadside service and also thinking about calling them to see if they can just get it out of the spot... Jammed Up!

Looks against awning, like someone said above, lower tire pressure on opposite side and make sure you have clearance all around.. don't be afraid to ruin the tires, you will need to replace them likely anyway.

I just don't understand how the OP got into this situation. I'm confused?

Having moved portable office building in the past contact a mobile home mover. You might get a better price. We had all kinds of jacks and rollers to do this, even more fun if you "dropped" one.

It all depends on how much money and time you have. The roof ac comes off easy and would just need a new gasket, and loosening/removing four bolts.

You're withholding information. We need to know the brand of those tires.
We have to know , you can't do this to us, please tell us , we need the brand !!!!! :B

did the buyer buy it sight unseen? of course now days one doesn't want to blame the person responsible, that would be a micro-aggression. hide in your safe space, pay the man to move it out and stop acting like a college student.

That will be cheap at 2x's the cost. $1500.00 would be cheap. Take his offer and run, but get it in writing, and pay him.

I'd be concerned about ripping the AC unit off the roof getting it out of there too. I'd be tempted to just remove the wheels and skid it out on the brake drums, they're cheap to replace.

My thoughts exactly , but he said I have done this many times.

He had already paid me for the PM but I just wanted him to get it off my property with out breaking down. He made it safely to where he sit it up one block away

Exactly....

Pay the Pro Mover and be done with it!

Reasonable cost, less dangerous and 'they' have equipment/experience...it IS what they do.

easiest/best solution
