Subject: o/t truck rentals...moving
ok folks, how much aprox does it cost to rent a truck
to drive from NY to Seattle? I have to deliver a 1957
BMW Isetta to my sister this summer, and heck having
mom and sister pay for the truck, oh did I mention
that I'm moving me out there at same time 3 scooters
and will be towing my 82' Diesel Westy. any
tips/advice for towing a vanagon that distance?
---------------- Clip ------------------
I would suggest that you contact several long distance moving companies and
see if you can ship at a big discount based on the premise of 'space
available'.
It sometimes takes a month to get something cross country but the wait is
often worth the savings.
I'm not going to speculate on Truck Rental rates.
My suggestion about towing your Vanagon is to load the front floor with
several (about 600 pounds) of cement bags or other heavy material so the Tow
Dolly will behave properly. Without the extra weight on the Tow Dolly the
Vanagon tends to wander too much.
