Hi Dwayne,

uShip.com. You can get bids from many transporters and if the coach works, even offers from people who would drive it for you.

That's a pretty good distance so I'll hazard a guess in the $2k range.

You'd need the specs of the GM which should be 12k lbs, 8 feet wide, 9'4'' high, 26' long (basically). Photos help too.

Thanks Jay
I submitted info to Uship.com and waiting to hear from some outfits.
Just bought another, yes a second 26 ft. To join the league of so many
others like yourself
But hopefully we will have 2 working well that our children's families can
take one and we the other
To camp in tandem.
Getting it home is one thing then providing proper storage is another feat.
We live on a 45degree slope in White Rock and getting up the hill when the
pavement is wet is another challenge.

Oh well the only people who fact problems are those who are alive!

I should be coming thru Calgary this summer. Have relatives in the area
plus school buddies.

My transporter is Vern Horsley. He has hauled more GMC motorhomes in the last three years than anyone else-14 for me alone plus others. He goes to Michigan often so maybe he can help you on one of those trips. He lives in Mississippi having retired from the Naval Lab there, but he is a Yankee from Michigan. call him at 601-798-1422....Thx, Michael at GEMRECS
