Factors That Influence The Cost of RV Transport
While there are average rates, they do fluctuate based on several factors. At Heavy Haulers, we take all factors into consideration to provide you with a free, no-obligation RV and motorhome shipping quote.
1. Distance and Route
Per-Mile Rates
Longer trips often have lower per-mile rates, but the total cost is higher.
Remote vs. Urban Routes
Transporting through rural areas may cost more due to limited carriers servicing those locations.
Tolls and Road Fees
Some routes may have additional toll costs, particularly near major highways.
2. Type and Size of the RV
Class A Motorhomes (largest)
Typically the most expensive to transport due to weight and size.
Class B & C Motorhomes (smaller)
More affordable to transport.
Fifth-Wheel Trailers & Travel Trailers
Costs vary based on length, weight, and whether they require specialized handling.
Oversized RVs
If an RV exceeds standard dimensions, special permits and escorts may be needed.
3. Transport Method
Drive-Away Service
A driver physically moves the RV to the destination. Generally cheaper but adds wear and tear.
Flatbed or Lowboy Trailer
Secure but more expensive, ideal for non-operational or luxury RVs.
Tow-Away Service
The RV is towed using a truck, a common method for travel trailers.
4. Fuel Prices and Market Demand
Fuel Costs
Fluctuating fuel prices directly impact transport costs.
Seasonal Demand
Higher costs in peak travel seasons (spring and summer) due to increased demand.
5. Pickup and Delivery Location
Door-to-Door Service
More convenient but often costs more than terminal-to-terminal transport.
Rural or Difficult-to-Access Locations
Delivering to remote areas may add to the cost due to longer detours.
6. Permits and Regulations
Oversized Load Permits
Required if the RV exceeds height, width, or length restrictions.
State and Local Regulations
Certain areas have special transport requirements that may add to the cost.
7. Additional Services
Expedited Shipping
Faster delivery comes at a premium.
Storage Fees
If the RV cannot be delivered immediately, storage costs may apply.
Insurance Coverage
Higher coverage options increase transport costs but provide peace of mind.
How to Ship an RV or Motorhome
Shipping an RV or motorhome can be a complex process, but with the right planning and preparation, it can be done smoothly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to ship an RV or motorhome:
Choose the Right Shipping Company
Vetting your shipping company is essential. At Heavy Haulers, we are licensed, bonded, and insured to ship your RVs anywhere in the USA.
Prepare Your RV for Shipping
1 Clean the Interior and Exterior
Remove personal belongings and clean the RV to make it easier for inspection.

Document any existing damage with photos. This will be useful for insurance purposes.
3 Secure Loose Items
Make sure that all loose items inside and outside the RV are secured to prevent damage during transport.
4 Inspect Your RV
Before and after loading, inspect the RV and take pictures for documentation. Then, inspect it again upon delivery to ensure no damage was incurred during transport.
5 Schedule the Pickup and Delivery
Heavy Haulers picks up and delivers your RV or motorhome on time. We provide loading assistance via winches, cranes, and forklifts if your motorhome is nonrunning.
