How are RVs Transported?
There are basically three ways RVs are transported.
- Drive Away – drive away is just what it sounds like, someone will drive your RV to its destination. This is the cheapest option, but the downside is that the mileage of the vehicle will increase.
- Tow-Away – Depending on the size, it will be towed behind another vehicle. This is not an option for larger vehicles.
- Flatbed Service – This is where a flatbed trailer will be used and might be accompanied by other vehicles. This is the safest way to ship your RV.
Preparing Your RV for Shipping
If you want everything to go smoothly, you just need to keep a couple of things in mind before shipping your RV.
- Keep everything to a minimum. Only take what is necessary. You can always do your shopping when you arrive at your destination.
- Do a full inspection. Check the tires, fluids and everything to make sure the vehicle is roadworthy.
- Secure Everything. Make sure that all cabinets and windows are secured. This can prevent things from shifting and cause biger problems down the road.
Communication. Make everything clear about what you expect from them. The more clear you are with them, the fewer surprises there will be along the way.
