Chalk up the heart ache and expense to life lesson learned.

I learned a long time ago, when I help family, I never expect anything in return. I make everything a gift.

It's something I do for myself...

Best way to do it. I just tell them to pay it forward. If you want to sell something don't sell it to family.

Hiring a tow truck would have been cheaper for you in the long run.

With a double wide the wheels are removed and the tongues are stored under the trailer when it's put together, there's no way to move one with a tow truck. They have to re-install wheels, axles, and both tongues, disconnect all utilities and lift it off of any leveling blocks, but I'm glad it all worked out for the OP lesson learned, about family loyalties being a one way street.
