LF: Service to transport and set up/take down RV in Orlando

[wdwexpert]

Hello fellow campers!

My Mother has just bought a 23' hybrid trailer. She will be storing it in Orlando in a storage facilty, but needs to find a company or person who can tow the trailer to her at Fort Wilderness and set it up for her, and correspondingly, pack it away, pump out, flush, etc. and return it to the storage location several times a year.

We need someone in early February and a couple of times in March. My brother will be driving it down from Canada in early January.

If anyone knows of a company that can do this service we would really appreciate hearing from you. The only one we can find is near Sarasota.

Thanks!

This should not be hard....

1. Try the storage place, see if they have anyone?

2. If you bought the RV down in florida or they have a dealer ship nearby..or any dealership for that matter, they always have people to set up and take down a unit for you..........it costs.....but this is a common thing.

Have a great time!

It is a Canadian purchased trailer. It is being stored at a boat & RV storage facility. They don't seem to offer that service.

I agree, it should be simple, but we can't seem to find someone!

I'm curious to hear what you find.

I've been looking at travel trailers - and I have a feeling I'd mostly use it at the Fort. Certainly nowhere around here. There are great deals to be had in this economy, but I have zero interest in buying a giant truck to tow one right now. It just isn't financially sound to drive it all the way to Orlando just to move a travel trailer once every other month or so.

I don't mind the flushing and draining... just the towing.

And good luck in your search!

Just curious...What's wrong with camping around here?

Try calling Camping World in Kissimmee and see if they either offer the service or can recommend someone. Their number is 407-396-2600.

The other place I would call for recommendations is Camping Connection on W Irlo Bronson - 407-397-2267.

I don't know if either of these places offers this kind of service, but they might be able to hook you up with someone that does. I know someone has to offer this service because we knew people that wintered at the Fort some years ago who did this exact thing with their 5th wheel, and another elderly lady did the same with her travel trailer. Unfortunately, the lady is now deceased and I've lost touch with the other couple. But, you now have a couple of places to start with.

He could possibly run into me and my 70 million kids!

I'd rather sleep across from the banging door in the 2000 loop lol.

Once you've lived "here" for 30 years, it does seem to lose its appeal! There are some great parks up on Lake Murray that I enjoy, but my parents have an older camper I could use there... Plus, it's not the Fort!

Hmm, I knew this was going to come down to me being compared to an elderly lady. Never fails. lol

Hey! I like kids! Now, if they're shining their lights into my tent in the middle of the night, we'll have to have a talk. I have a feeling, though, your kids wouldn't be getting away with that!

What about 70 million kids banging the comfort station door at 3am?

Now we know why your profile picture is missing your right shoulder. You didn't want us to see your European Shoulder Bag!

Hey, where you from? I know a lot of tow company near in our place. Keep in touch dude.

Hmmmm.... isn't there a couple of Disers that rent out their fivers? If so, they're already capable of towing, flushing and setting up and such - someone with a better memory than mine might recall exactly who it is that offers this rental service. Never know, they might just be able to do exactly what you want as well!

we are in Ontario, Canada. The trailer is in Orlando.

What about some of the camper service companies that come to the Fort if you have a problem. I have seen a couple of the ones near Myrtle Beach setting up trailers at campgrounds around there.
