Re: [VAL] Re: Moving Trailer from Texas to Washington



Cheyanne,

I just remembered this.

There are companies that NEED vehicles driven (read delivered) in distant 
cities.  They might be called "Drive Away" service companies or something 
similar.  What these companies have is customers that need their car, truck, 
van, RV, etc. delivered to a distant part of the country.

I once ran into a couple from Canada while we were camping in the Florida 
Keys.  Their deal was that they picked up the new RV in Canada or south of 
the border with Canada that needed to be delivered by a certain date in 
Orlando, Florida.  Since they had time to kill they went on down to Key 
West, Florida and then planned to be back in Orlando, FL by the due date.

This couple DID have to pay the cost of fuel.  But, what they got out of it 
was more or less a vacation that only cost them gas and food -- also, they 
could NOT sleep, eat or use the RV's facilities as the RV had to still be 
sold as "New!"  If they used the beds, kitchen, bathrooms, etc. it would 
have looked and sold as "Used!", not new.

Check into some of the "drive away" service companies.  You just might find 
"something" that will tow your trailer with ease and all you end up doing is 
paying for fuel since you could "live" or at least sleep in your Airstream.

Good idea?
