So I just found out enterprise does not let you tow anything with their trucks.
Where can I get a decent size truck to pull a camper trailer next thursday to maker faire.

What does the trailer weigh when full?

None of the national car rental companies will let you tow... I don't
know if Ryder will, but they do have vans as well as trucks. Otherwise
maybe a trailer transport service?

Dont know the weight. The original weighed around 2,200, I'd say the new build probably around 3,200. My jeep pulled it from dearborn in july, I was debating on using it or finding a cheap rental. I'm looking into all options now as Maker faire is next weekend and it just came to my attention that I cant do what I had planned. :(

I am 50-50 on my ability to attend MFNY after a serious family emergency lately. However, if I find I can attend next weekend, we do have a new hitch on the Durango.

Please look up to see if our Durango (2003 I believe) can tow. If not, also look up the info for my conversion van. If you guys can sort out the rogue electric issue (it's not major, a slow leak, usually just needs jumped each time but otherwise runs fine)

I am willing to put temp tags on it. It's a Ford e150 econoline. I'm running out the door right now but can get more specifics if these details aren't enough to figure out if it can tow with either vehicle.

One thing to note-The fees for tolls go up significantly when towing to NYC. When I just calculated a small uhaul trailer, I believe tolls were another $200.

I will try to check in again in 2 hour, or feel free to call Micho's phone for direct conversation.
