Rv transport companies
We need to find a transporter to move our Fifth Wheel from our campground to a dealer for warranty work. It is 5 miles or so. Like idiots we purchased a 2016 and had it delivered planning on buying a truck later in 2016. I thought what could go wrong on a brand new coach? Big mistake. If anyone knows of any delivery providers please post. I wish we could buy a truck now but cannot.
We are in the Columbus Ohio area.

X'2 or the dealer to pick it up. What is your problem we have a lot of smart people who might have had the same problem. Maybe we can help. Lets give a call out to forum members in Columbus Ohio maybe they can help tow it for you. Do you have Coach net that came with the first year warranty? Call them they can tow it for you also.....

Who delivered it when you bought it??
The dealer can probably haul it back for you for warranty work...

We are having it fixed at a different dealer than we purchaser at. We purchased it 100 miles away. The dealer which is five miles away does not have a transport.

Pay then and seek reimbursement from FR.
Some here have done so.

You need FR pre-approval on this typically.

Based on you comment that you had it delivered to site upon purchase so I am assuming it is a longer term campground. Many have the ability to move RV's to and from their storage lots. For five miles I would ask them.

Too bad you are in Columbus and not closer to Cleveland I would have happily helped but it's a 6 hour round trip drive for me.
