I think the issue here is that you are advertising the RVs you buy and can't move. Whether you say sell, trade or give, you only post to advertise it.

You might be better off posting BEFORE you buy and see if anyone would go look at it locally for you. Then you can find out if it's towable/drivable before spending the money. And the less you spend on buying RVs only to have to get rid of them, the more you'll have to spend on moving costs.

Good luck with the mess.
Get a pair of goggles and drive it if it runs. Come back and tell us the story.

My location is listed as San Diego, but it should actually say Atlanta. Please someone let me know how I can modify this. Clicking on "edit profile" does not give the option to change. I've asked the admins as well. Thanks!

1. the shipping quote was $6800
2. not trying to sell it on another thread. trying to trade it for classC (read carefully)
3. anybody on here can have it if they want; walmart will be towing it soon anyway
4. I didn't drive it there. I got it at auction dirt cheap ($235 after fees) and figured I could use it for my non-profit so I drove up to look to tow it back. I saw the photos but didn't realize towing would be so expensive. My tow from Tampa (with the other one) was only $1100.

I realize this may seem to you all to be a scam. Ask away with your questions, doubts, and jeers. Still: if anyone is near the Culpeper Walmart, PM me. I'll let you know where I hid the keys and the title. Thanks in advance, good people.

A tow from Culpeper VA to Atlanta GA may cost more than the coach might be worth.

One way miles to Atlanta is 500 plus and over eight road hours away. The operator could demand round trip cost to include overnight accommodations in Atlanta due to CDL road time limits for the driver.


Thatโ€™s an understatement. A typical heavy tow of 500 miles would be about $7 / mile or $3,500.

You *might* find someone with a lowboy trailer that would do it for a little less, but not much. They know what the alternative costs and arenโ€™t going to leave much change on the table.

Buying older rigs that might not be road worthy then using the Scarlett O'hara survival plan (rely on the kindness of strangers) to get it to your project home based isn't going to work out well long or short term.

He's posted like this before - bought an RV but can't get it to Florida (yet his profile says he's in San Diego) and is trying to sell/trade/gift it.

How did that scenario ever come to be? You drove it there without a windshield or battery? Got vandalized? Do you have insurance? Sorry, very confused.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

Just purchased and needing windshield, battery and a 600 mile tow? Interesting. Are all tires good? Tags, registration, plates all up to date? Insurance?
