  • We moved across the country from Los Angeles, California to South Florida. We attached a 6x12 trailer to our suv and loaded up safely. In this video you will learn about the safety rules and steps needed for these services with Uhaul! We chose Uhaul because it was the most comfortable and safest option for my family and I. If I had to do this again and when I do move again, I will without a doubt go with Uhaul every time. They provided peace of mind, provided services that made this move less stressful and we safely arrived in South Florida!

    We are traveling from Virginia to Texas and thinking about getting the small 4x8… Was it hard to drive? I’m worried it will be hard or get stolen if we stop at a hotel. It’s just me and 3 kids. Nobody to help drive…😩

      Hey! It was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be. We even drove in the rain with no problems. You just have to keep in mind you will be driving slower than usual because of the weight being carried in the trailer. As for it getting stolen, they do have locks! We stayed at RV stops and made sure to bring pillows and blankets and slept on the car.. If you will be stopping at a hotel, id make sure to ask for one facing the parking lot so you can keep an eye on your trailer! But again, they do have locks for them!

      Excellent question! Girl I’m on the same page. I’m moving from Washington to California. Most of the roads in Oregon are curves. How do I drive on curves? The 4x8 is also what I’m thinking of renting but I’m so worried.

      ​@@ttm709 I'm not sure about driving on curvy roads as out travel didn't have much of that , but the link below on haul's website has great tips for safety!

    That's one long ride back home! Good idea to stay in RV park. Would u say that size trailer fits a 1bdrm or 2 berm apt? I'm undecided between the 5x8 and 6x12.

    • @TheMomfluence
      @TheMomfluence  Год назад

      Yes, definitely a long drive!! We fit a 3 bedroom 2story home in there by only taking essentials. I think a 1 or 2 should fit!

      I don't remember exactly how much it was, but it was a little over a grand. Texas is a lot closer than Florida though. We did sell a lot and only took what was essential. So basically our rooms, and like important things!

    I am concered about the security of the trailer. Do people disconnect the trailer and steal it when you are sleeping at a hotel? What to do to prevent? I will be going coast to coast and dont want to get my stuff stolen. Also, what if they break the lock in the back?

    • @TheMomfluence
      @TheMomfluence  11 месяцев назад

      That is a very good question. We had a lock on our hitch, it came with a key. BUT I do have to tell you, we did not opt for staying in a hotel. Our car was very spacious and we brought pillows/blankets and slept at the rest stops. The weather this time of year was great in all the states we drove through so we didn’t have to worry about keeping the car on!

    • @ike7539
      @ike7539 11 месяцев назад

      @TheMomfluence I wanted to put stuff in my suv too and the trailer. Maybe it's better to get a bigger size trailer to make room in the suv and sleep inside.

    • @TheMomfluence
      @TheMomfluence  11 месяцев назад

      @@ike7539 that’s definitely a good option. We did have stuck in our suv as well. But like the things we would need while traveling (clothes, pillows, blankets, snacks and drinks) & any last minute things we decided to take after the trailer was already closed lol as long as our daughter was comfortable, we were happy!
