That's why I only spend the WINTER in FL. I'll say this though, many people on this forum missed their calling. From the speculation that goes on here, they could have worked on Wall Street !

The storage facility owner does not have to do anything other than send a notice to the owner of record. Any mechanic's lien created by filing of an application by the storage facility owner is superior to any bank lien on the property. In short, the storage facility owner can sell the rig and use the proceeds to satisfy the costs of sale and the delinquent storage charges. Any overage, if any, goes to the owner of record. Don't know how they do it in New Hampshire, but that's how they do it in Florida.

Why does some people have to say some thing about spelling? I cant spell for anything because im stupid.everyone got the point! And all the op was asking is if he got took. Yes he did! I think it was a scam. between the tow co. And the storage co.If the OP owed the storage money! why would the storage co. pay anything never mine 1/2. that tow shoud have only cost about $400. I smell a scam the storage guy could have auctioned it off and made money! Thats why he only took cash so he couldnt dispute credit card after he got his moho back. I say get your moho back then fight like hell!!!!
After having a relatively short tow of about 15 miles in FL a few years back that was paid at $600 by Coach-Net I can understand the charge. The rates are a lot different for a large RV. The tow truck costs a lot more, it usually takes 2 people to do it properly and I would be willing to bet their lieability insurance is a lot higher to tow larger, high priced vehicles.

I think that OP was wrong in not paying the storage bill for 3 months. I think the Park was in thier rights to sell or remove the coach from thier property. I have 2 questions. One why the park is paying anything to the tow company, if it was me there would be no way and I would still file for the back rent, and two if the OP is behind on rent payments how will he ever pay the tow company the $1100.00? If he does not pay them then they can dispose of the coach for non-payment of the tow.... catch 22.

This correct--- for now -- notice to be sent certified,return receipt. However,starting July 1 per revision of FS 83.803 in the last legislative session , the notification requirement can be done via email with receipt/delivery acknowledgement or 1st class mail with a certificate of mailing. If overage from sale is not claimed by owner after 2 years it is considered abandoned.

The spelling was brought up because the original post was nearly unreadable. It has been edited by the moderator. Just what towing company do you own that will tow a motorhome anywhere for $400.00, especially when you have to disconnect the drive shaft as part of the preparation? I am sure a lot of people on these forums would be glad to use your company to save big bucks. I am sure Good Sam ERS and Coachnet would be glad to send business to you at those rates. We apparently will never know the whole story, since Mr. Blackbeard apparently has sailed away. I agree something sounds fishy about the part where the storage company is willing to pay 1/2, but without the full story, we will never know.
I suspect the park operator received $1100 of the $2200 tow. I can't think of any other reason they would participate in the tow bill after being stiffed by the renter.

If you all believe the OP's fairytale..... Whom hasn't come back to post.
