Since my TV is in the repair shop waiting for a TCM and it does not look to good in the near future to get it repaired before we leave for FL I am looking into having it towed there. What would I expect to pay for this service

Certainly it would depend on locations among other things. Based on some parts availability posts you had best plan on having it towed back as well.

Back in 2008, I paid $3.00 a mile to have a fifth-wheel brought to FL from GA. My best guesstimate would be 6.00 a mile now? Dealers have transporters who deliver their units to customers. I used one they suggested. Bonded and insured.

Where are you? It makes a difference. If they have to dead head (no return load), you will have to cover the cost of both directions.
Check with local dealers, they get deliveries and may know drivers.
Check with RV parks that have lots of seasonal trailers. They will often have a truck to move trailers around along with insurance.

I used a service back in 2019 sending my fiver back to Indiana... I found that it was about 1/2 the cost sending it BACK to Indiana as they usually are dead heading that way anyway...
From Eastern PA to Indiana was $1000.... From Indiana back to PA was just a skoosh over $2000
I used Synergy Transport and they were AWESOME to deal with

Might be cheaper to rent another Rv or a truck to pull your FW. Any friends that have a truck capable? Cheapest option is to cancel your trip.

Get a quote from the dealer servicing your current rig as to what they will give you in a trade, add in the costs you are finding to have the rig delivered to Florida and you might be able to upgrade your current disabled rig into a newer one that actually works.
