My own THOW is still in the process of being built (it is 4 rafters shy of being completely framed), but so far I've moved it 3 times. First time was about 16 miles, second time was about 10 mi and last time was about 3 mi.

The last move was in the rain, so I had a tarp on it. Had to keep the speed around 15 mph max to keep the tarp from shredding.

I was very nervous about moving it for various reasons, but they all turned out to be for nothing. Some things I learned:

  • My THOW seems pretty flimsy (I can make the whole thing flex by standing in the loft and shifting weight from foot-to-foot), but having a band of CS-14 wrap around the whole thing seems to help a lot. Once it get the outer sheath put on, it should firm up greatly.
  • My trailer requires a 2 5/16ths" ball, so I bought my own receiver mount. Most rental trucks come with only 2" balls. The last rental truck's ball was welded onto the receiver, so I went with it. I wouldn't have tried this if I was going faster than 20 mph and/or over hilly terrain.
  • It is very important to have the electrical wiring properly connected between the truck and trailer. Many rental trucks have only a 4-pin connector, whereas my trailer has a 7-pin because it has electric brakes. With heavy loads, stopping promptly is nearly impossible without the trailer's brakes working.
  • Always, always check the trailer tire pressure. You don't want to have a blow-out. It might make sense to keep a spare handy, too ;)

    And most importantly:

  • Anyone who nay-says your dream of owning a THOW is a sad individual who wishes they were as cool as you. Don't let 'em bring you down!

    My long term goal is to get some property out in the country and move the THOW out there when it is time for vacation. I could easily see moving it 2-3 times a year.
