Motorhome Shipping Options
Look at your options for shipping. The things that affect your costs when shipping are:
Timeframe:
Are you in a hurry and need a rush rate or are you flexible and willing to wait to get a better shipping price
Size of your motorhome or RV:
RVs and motorhomes come in all shapes and sizes. If your motorhome is oversized it will cost more.
Type of transport:
There are several ways to ship a motorhome, generally the main options are to have the vehicle driven, towed, or loaded on a flat deck trailer.

BEST transport method: Flat deck trailer
We recommend loading the vehicle on a flat deck trailer as the best option for most people.
This saves on wear and tear, especially if you are shipping the vehicle long distance.
This prevents any unexpected mechanical surprises flaring up on the highway, far from affordable mechanical help, if you’re buying a new or used motorhome.
SECOND BEST Transport Option: Tow Away
Loading your vehicle on a flat deck trailer might not be a good option if your motorhome is very large.
When loaded on a trailer it could become oversized and require permits.
If you are looking for faster service and lower cost, towing the vehicle is the next best option.
Why Hire a Professional Shipping Service:
We all have different reasons for shipping, buying, and moving our motorhomes and RVs.
It makes more sense to hire a professional motorhome shipping company instead of doing it yourself for these reasons:
- It will save you time and stress from organizing the move yourself, especially if you are moving
- You can relax instead of having to work during your free time or on your vacation
- You want to save your friends or family members the burden or hassle of moving your motorhome or RV for you
- You are buying your motorhome in another part of the country and don’t want to take the time (and lost hours working) to travel yourself
- Save on wear and tear on the vehicle, tires, trailer
If saving time is more important than money to you, it just makes more sense to save the hassle and get a professional, insured carrier to move your motorhome / RV / boat for you.
