Answer
For my date I used 4-12-11.
All rates exclude taxes, fees, insurance, optional equipment, or fuel.

Fuel Mileage- The small trucks towing your car with your belongings in them should get between 8-10 miles per gallon. For figuring out your cost I would go with the 8 MPG. Using mapquest its roughly 2500 miles from Orlando to LA. So 2500 divided by 8 = 312 gallons. So at 4.00 per gallon you would be looking at 1250 in fuel.

For this long of a trip, I would only use the auto transport [car carrier] - My reason being that with all 4 tires off the ground it is much better on your Jetta, the tow dolly would only raise up the front 2 tires and the rear tires would just roll which would seriously wear your rear tires up.

U-Haul
All their trucks can tow, however I wouldn't recommend towing with the 10'. The 10 trucks only four tires. Where the larger ones have 6 tires. [ 4 rear tires] which means it can haul more weight and also has larger brakes.
Rates include up to 9 days of use and 3027 miles.

So I would contact a few moving compaines to see what they charge you with everything. Make sure you check the BBB first and also just check them out online for any kind of problems in the past. If you use a mover you could have them transport your car to LA and you could fly if you wanted to but also figure in that cost.

How do I match up a bed frame to my headboard?
B. M. W
Recently I bought a bedroom set and it came with a headboard. The headboard supports a queen size bed. I had a full-size bed. If I find a good bed frame how can I know if it will attach? I guess they all come with something for connecting the frame to the headboard? I did find a bed frame at Wallmart but it it says it doesn't require the box spring. So, maybe it will be too high to connect onto the headboard.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Bruce
Answer
You have to match the frame to the headboard. If you have a queen-sized headboard and a full-sized bed frame, the headboard will be too big. If you want to use it anyway, you will have to make some adapter brackets.
