OK, so we are having a spa moving company come & load the spa flat on a Uhaul 5' x 9' trailer. I will get a 4' x 8' sheet of 3/4" plywood ripped to support the spa, and secure with ratcheting tie-downs.

Good idea. As far as renting a truck, the milage (720 each way) would be prohibitively expensive.

Where? I thought about using the plywood by setting it flat on the rails, and then securing the spa flat on top of that. Thanks for the advice. Ah Merde!

Sounds like a goos deal to me. I've had my Sundance Cameo for 11+ years without major incident. I do think that Hot Springs is slightly higher in overall quality though.

I have a Sundance Cameo that I am selling to my brother. the spa is 7'4" square and 39" high. When it was purchased, the folks from the dealer flipped the spa on its side to clear the gate, and used plywood and furniture dollies to move it. Here's the thing; my brother live 720 miles away. I have an SUV, and was going to rent a Uhaul open trailer and put the spa on its side. I am just worried that being on its side for that long (10+ hours) will stress and/or crack the shell. Uhaul doesn't rent flatbed trailers, so laying it flat seems out of the question. Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks.
