I am in the unfortunate position of having to move my 5th wheel and no longer own a tow vehicle. We made the difficult decision to give up towing and eventually plan to park our 5'er at a family place in Maine.
In any case, my rig has been at Campers Inn, Merrimack, NH since October having the roof replaced. Because the weather has been so mild, they finished the repair early. Campers Inn has agreed to let me keep it there until spring however it's out in the open now and not protected at all. We would feel much more comfortable having it parked at home for obvious reasons.
I live less than 10 miles from Campers Inn so the move would actually take longer to hitch/unhitch than the drive. By any chance is there anyone in the area that could help us out? We would of course compensate you for your time and fuel. Thanks in advance and "think Spring"..
I should probably add that our rig is a 2011 Crossroads Cruiser, 32', weighing about 10K as it sits right now..

Did you ask Campers Inn if they would deliver it? They must have a tow vehicle and 10 miles is pretty a pretty short run, even if you had to pay them.

I would be willing to do it, but am 70 miles away. Hopefully you can find someone closer than that.

Some RV dealers have standby drivers and transportes that can make a short or long runs. Check with them.

RV meets low hanging tree branch! Total roof replacement, to the tune of $9000. I can't say enough for my insurance company.

By any chance does your kingpin have a SuperGlide Capture plate on it? If so, I might be able to help. If not, I'm sorry. That is one of the limitations of the SuperGlide. I am located about 70 miles north of you.

This is interesting. We are thinking of moving from a MH to a 5ver. One big reason is if truck breaks I can get 5ver towed to a nearby CG while truck gets fixed. It seems that moving a 5ver is not that easy after all ?

Actually, I am all set. Got a call from someone right in town that is going to help me out for the cost of fuel. I placed an ad on Craig's List and have had 3 people offer. I have little doubt that someone would be able to help from here as well. Back in the fall I posted a message asking how you find a commercial hauler to move my rig to a campground and had someone from here offer to move it for free whenever I'm ready. RV'ers are always there for each other. Thanks to all who responded. Hope to be back on the road with you all in a few years.
