Default trailering a 3200scr across 3 states?

good day, has anyone tried to trailer a 3200 long distance? thinking of taking mine down to Southern California, or Lake Powell, or both? 11ft beam, would this mean wide load and a Pilot truck? FYI, currently on Vancouver Island and the Salish Sea.

You will need to check with the district’s that you will be traveling through to find out their requirements for wide load and height.

Default Truck broker

Sure would be fun to do myself, but I've reached out to a trucking broker so should be interesting to see 1 way is by pros doing it. I'm going to guess usd 10,000.

Got quote for Nanamo to Ft Lauderdale on a ship, 30k! About as much as the boat!

Three years ago I spent $13.5K to move my Silverton from Connecticut to Maryland. That included disassembly, special low ride trailer, permits and reassembly. Extra permits since it was still a little over 14’ high and they want no more than 13.5’.

Yes it unbolts but I’m not sure how with your specific model. There should be either access plates or a speaker that can be removed to provide access.

11 foot beam doesn't typically require an escort vehicle. An escort vehicle is required if..

Width > 12 feet (1 escort)

Height > 13' 6" (1 Front escort and a height pole)

If the arch had to be removed you will need to have it delivered to a place where you can have it reinstalled. A separate move may be possible to move to a different body of water.
