Flatbed trailer to Reno arriving on/by Aug 25th, leaving from Tampa - seems same $ if two RV's or one is on the 53' trailer - mine is 25" length. Room for up to 27' motorcoach.
Anyone interested to share a trailer out? probably going to drive it back after some stops in Bryce and Zion parks.
My second burn, all set in theme camp too.
PAX, Mystic

FYI. Here is my wild guess. Your Rv is over 10 feet tall and so will be coming out on a 53' step deck trailer. The front deck will be in the neighborhood of 10 feet in length and so the total usable deck length for anything over 10 feet tall will be about 43 feet. Some crafty loading may change that length but I've only seen overgrown tear drop trailers(as far as RV's go) on a normal height flatbed on the interstate.

Thanks for the heads up. It is a 22ft Class C style with a 3ft wheel-less trailer on the hitch. Right now they have it out with an trucking aggregator company to bid out to haul. I have a plan b backup driver in case they fall through. more to come I guess.

Possibly - but still unsure of the way its going to get to Reno. Right now I have it out with an trucking aggregator company to bid out to haul. I have a plan b backup driver in case they fall through. more to come I guess. If it goes by truck not sure they will want to stop though, and since I would be driving it back to FL -- the hitch is being used with a wheel-less trailer for the bikes
