Transport new camper

[gutsplitter]

Need to get a new Eagle Cap 1165 from Everett to Oregon to finish up a custom flatbed. Anybody know any transporters in that area?

C'mon, one of you guys has to have a day to kill and needs a big ticket tax free item like new truck tires or something from Oregon...

I know the inside scoop because I did RV transport for a different company out of Pendleton, OR during the summer of 2014 and 15. A few times I picked up Northwood units over the hill in LaGrande, and saw the Beeline office.

I've also seen the super cool trailers that Beeline supplies to drivers so they can haul two campers, one on their truck and one on a trailer.

Strongly recommend arranging your own time to go there.

Ditto.

In regards to having an empty RV transporter haul something on a return trip, the only way you can make that happen is to contact the transport companies that have deliveries through the PNW.

You can't just "contact a driver of one of those companies" on your own and have them haul something because they probably won't do it due to insurance / liability reasons.

Here's what I would do:

Contact Bee Line transport in LaGrande, OR. They are the primary transport company for Northwood. They use special trailers to haul the AF truck campers.
I'd think it should be easy to have one of their drivers haul a rig from Everett to Oregon after completing a delivery at Apache Camping Center in Everett.

Here's their contact info:

Address: 64321 Airport Ln, La Grande, OR 97850
Hours: Closed ? Opens 7AM
Phone: (541) 962-7630

I've been in equipement transport few years ago and TC are very hard to manage.

I am north of Everett and see a lot of RV transporters going north full and back south empty on I5, you should be able to get it shipped for a decent price. I think there are some RV manufacturers in Oregon, I would find someone that delivers for them up this way and I am sure they would love to get a return load.

Idk of any TC transporters, only seen the guys on the freeway hauling TCs to dealers and they're geared up to haul 3 at a time and running interstate, but there are many TC owners in this area and on this forum.
I don't have the time, nor a long bed truck, but it's possible one of the good members here will offer.

I bet Eagle Cap knows of some local guys as I'm sure they ship or pickup campers individually around the area.
