Some builders use a large U-Haul truck, but they&#8217;re expensive and typically don&#8217;t have a ramp that&#8217;s wide enough for the RV&#8217;s gear.<\/p>\n<p>On a whim I called Mal&#8217;s, a local car towing company and asked what they&#8217;d charge for a flatbed car tow\/transporter truck. Turns out it wasn&#8217;t significantly more expensive than a U-Haul truck, and the entire bed tilts back to make it easy for loading&#8230;so I booked Mal&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mightyrv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/2014-04-21-09.03.40.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2722\" src=\"https:\/\/mightyrv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/2014-04-21-09.03.40-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Mal's truck\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mightyrv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/2014-04-21-09.03.40-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mightyrv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/2014-04-21-09.03.40-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mightyrv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/2014-04-21-09.03.40-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mal&#8217;s truck and driver showed up right on time.
