No they did not charge me for storage. They have M-T pick up times only and I was supposed to retrieve it NLT 21 Oct. I emailed the GP representative and told him I'd be able to pick it up on the 25th at the earliest.

Nice. tight fit on the U-Haul.
If I were to do it again I would have gone with a deckover or a wide enough equipment trailer. The Ram 2500 pulled it enough just fine, but a nice weight distribution set up would have made the ride back a lot better. It was 1200 miles round trip.

The endless hills and downhills in PA were squirrelly especially the banking, curved ones. I should have done better route recon, but I was trying to avoid New Jersey and New York City on my way down. Interstate 80 was not fun going back. Also on my way down I stopped at a friend's house just outside Cleveland to sleep and eat. On the way back I bedded down on an on ramp near some truckers.
