So our new adventure is bogged down a bit. Still waiting for our home buyer to sell his place. Contingency sales kinda suck, but pretty common sometimes. So we may be heading to Mississippi sometime in June to pick up the new RV. We had a choice of driving all the way there, picking up the new rig, and driving all the way back to Ca just to get our RV stuff out of storage. Well, that wasn't very appealing.
So I thought we would rent a uhaul and drive there with all our RV stuff with us. Then I checked the prices at Uhaul. A trip of that distance, one way, gets 7 days max and costs about $500. Another week would be another $500.
So I decided to purchase my own trailer, make it a cargo trailer, pull it back to Mississippi at our own pace. We will take 2-3 weeks, and then when we get back there the PDI at the dealer will take 5 days. So we can keep our stuff with us during that time also. Afterwards I will put the trailer on Craig's List or some such thing and recoup as much as I can out of it.
We plan on hitting KOA's all the way back and renting the "Kamping Kabins". Diane has identified the ones that allow pets. I will pull the trailer, a 5X8 with a 4' tall box on it with my Jeep Wrangler. At least that's the plan we have in place right now. Hey, what could go wrong?
