    I saw a billboard in Houston about delivering campers. Haven't heard anything abt it. But it seems like a lucrative biz. I would do it if I had a 3/4 or 1 ton p/u

    I see them a lot on 90 out west. The problem would be backhauls. I see this one guy with a large rollback. He carries one on the rollback and tows another one. After delivery,he loads the rollback with cargo or a car. It's enough to pay for fuel back.

    2 bucks a mile one way and have to deadhead back. What's not to love! Its an awesome gig if your idea of running a lucrative business is clearing 700 a week.

    There are many threads on this forum about hauling RVs. Do a search and get to reading. Also google RV Transport companies and check out what the companies require for equipment and driver. Good luck.
