while you may not be able to rent a van you can rent a small truck one way as i did it several times when moving down here from nj. i dont know how much furniture you have to move but it took me about 3 of these trucks over the course of a year to fully move and one of them was a 24 footer also pulling the nissan on a trailer. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving well i know some will think that they won their little piss-ant game they are playing but it couldnt be further from the truth. i will be moving in two weeks and with out services for a bit. i addition to that i will have to change providers as cox does not service the area i am moving too so comcast here i come. anyway catch you on the flip and i will be here a little bit longer. moving oh joy! not!!! where ya going you going back to ny and play in the snow g we did a move to another house down the street a couple of years ago and it sucked. i still cant find some of my stuff. now that the next move is down here im all for selling the house furnished. found out that it is impossible to rent a van like a econoline or the like. well you can rent them but not one way. i suppose i can grab one of my friends car trailer and load that and haul it down here but then im dead heading it back. guess ill figure it out eventually. .
