Hey All!

I am relocating from Indiana out west and have a 30 ft fifth wheel travel trailer and it isn't included in my companies relocation package. I have an older F350 that I use to haul it but don't really want to take it on an 1800/3-4 day hike in fear of doing it in. My company will haul the truck and I was curious if there are companies in Indiana that I can rent a pick up with a fifth wheel in it?

I have already priced a transport company and it is almost $3k to haul it - I would prefer not to spend that and am willing to rent something and haul it ourselves. Any idea's???

Thanks!

I'm thinkin' you are SOL. Been RV'ing 7 years fulltime and this is the first time I've ever heard/read the subject even being discussed. A private party may consider a rental agreement, but a commercial rental....I doubt it. Got a friend with a 5th wheel equipped truck....maybe swap trucks for a couple of weeks.

Good Luck

I am also an RV'er and I don't know of anywhere you can rent a truck with a FW hitch to tow a rig 1,800 miles.

I guess you should call around to the local dealers and see if they can help you. You might talk to someone who "has a friend with a truck who wants to make some money."

Personally, I would just either haul it with my current truck, get a new truck, or pay the 3K. I assume you aren't going to give up the hobby once you move, so why is a newer truck out of the question?

RV'ing is definitely not a cheap hobby.

Thats is what I thought... but I thought I may throw it out there! Only trying to figure out all my options...

Definitely not giving up the hobby, actually looking forward to exploring the west/desert!!!

I may call around to see if I can dig up anything else and I may explore getting a newer truck as well. I am also hauling my 24 ft Pontoon boat with my SUV. So we will have a convoy regardless of which way we do it! LOL

Thanks for the replies!

Just following back up - couldn't find a viable alternative so went ahead and upgraded the truck

Happy trails everyone!
