Re: rental hauling

[Farrar Hudkins <fhudkins@xxxx>]

When I moved from Charlotte to New Orleans, I rented a Penske truck. It
was one of those Chevy box-vans which seemed to have a standard trailer
hitch on the back. (This was before Janine got wrecked and I got Laggy.)
I rented the "tow dolly" (they called it that; I called it a car carrier
as no wheels touched the ground and it was stored vertically) which had
the standard "put this on top of the hitch, now clamp that thing"
fitting. Also some chains, presumably in case the thing really had a
disaster with the hitch. The old Mopar fit on it so I'm relatively sure
a De would.

If you have time, simply go to your local Penske/U-Haul/Budget/whatever
and ask to see a truck with a hitch. They should be happy to take you
around to have a look. It also might be handy to bring the dimensions of
your car (including wheel base) with you.

Good luck, and have fun.
