I believe this has been answered before, but bear with me. We've been coming to WDW for 20 years and most of that has been to FW. I have a 5th-wheel stored about 45 minutes away from FW. Our August visit couldn't be done due to the closed border. Now I'm getting worried about Christmas. I know we can fly to Florida and bypass the closed border (if it's still closed at Christmas), but I'd have no way of getting my trailer to FW.
Does anyone know of a company that would move my trailer back and forth for me if I had to fly rather than drive?
 

Also (and I guess things could always change), at this time the Florida highway checkpoints are no longer in operation (if that is what you meant by closed borders). Also found out the the self quarantine for arrivals from NY/CT/NJ are no longer in effect for arrivals from those locations.

Sorry, I guess I should have clarified, I'm from Canada.

Canada, eh? Is flying and renting an RV an option?

We can fly to the US right now, just can't cross the border by driving. I haven't looked into renting at this point as I already have my trailer down there. Haven't heard back from the first company that was posted, so currently I have no idea how much it would cost to have the trailer moved back and forth and how that would compare to renting one. My biggest concern is how long my trailer will be in storage if I don't use it by Christmas. That will be a year. It's a 2004 and I've been doing constant maintenance on it twice a year when we go to Disney in order to keep up on caulking cracking which of course leads to water leaks. If we can't use it until next August at the earliest, that will be over a year and a half. I'm afraid what it will look like by that point!
 
Ouch, im sure the transport to disney will not be that bad. Getting there is the problem! Unfortunately, December is a long way off and anything can happen in that time. Best not to think about it untill it gets closer. Worse case, have someone check on the camper. Best case you will be driving down. I know , not much help.......
 
I would text Jimmy and ask if he has more info about his service & pricing, availability and if he has a service to do some of the maintenance you are concerned about or if he can recommend anybody. Also where is your trailer in storage?Can you call or text them to ask for recommendations. I would be concerned about mold.
Hope you get to visit soon.
 
I've only rented campers so I could be not thinking about this correctly at all... but is it possible to rent a vehicle to tow it yourself? Especially if you go through something like Turo where you know exactly what you are renting, that might work. I've even seen towing vehicles available for rent on outdoorsy and rvshare. Just a thought??

Op stated he has a 5th wheel so he’d need a pickup with 5er hitch it’s not just a “bumper ball”
