I have used U-haul to furnish 3 homes in TV. One 17 foot and one 14 foot and one 10 foot trailer. Plus about 4 pick-up loads that looked like the Beverly Hillbillys. We are about 850 miles away. One thing I noticed about pricing U-Haul was that it really depended on timing. I would keep checking the web site and reserving another when the price was lower then canceling the last one reserved. There prices change depending on where there inventory is located. When an area gets more trucks and trailers then they need, the price drops. When I first reserved the first 17 foot truck, it was around $1200. By the time I picked it up a couple months later, I had it down to $650. I was able to pack our first home, 3 bedroom, 1900 sq ft in that first 17 foot truck. Took some planning, lots of pads, and some load adjusting, but it all fit.
