Types of RVs Specialty Vehicle Transport Services Handle:
RVs come in all shapes and sizes, so hiring a cookie-cutter company won’t cut it. You need expert specialty vehicle transportation providers who have the carriers and equipment to handle all kinds of RVs. Some of the recreational vehicles we can move include:
1. Motorhomes
These self-powered homes on wheels require specialized handling during transport. Our team uses custom carriers explicitly designed for moving motorhomes safely during your relocation.
A. Class A Motorhomes
Class A motorhomes look like buses and can stretch up to 45 feet long. They often have slide-outs that make them even wider when parked.
These spacious, bus-like RVs have full amenities and require careful handling. Popular brands like Winnebago, Tiffin, Newmar, Fleetwood, and Prevost present unique challenges due to their height restrictions and weight distribution. We’ve moved hundreds of these luxury giants and know exactly how to secure them properly.
B. Class B Motorhomes (Camper Vans)
Don’t let their smaller size fool you. These van-based RVs still need proper securing during transport to protect their compact systems and features.
These compact, van-based RVs are perfect for road trips but still need proper care during transport. We can move all kinds and brands including Roadtreks, Airstream, Pleasure-Ways, and Winnebago Revels.
Many have custom interiors and solar installations that require extra attention to detail when securing them for transport.
C. Class C Motorhomes
With their distinctive over-cab sleeping areas, Class C motorhomes require carriers that can handle their unique shape while keeping them secure.
With their distinctive cab-over bunks, mid-sized RVs require special attention to their overhead extensions. Whether its a Thor Motor Coach, Jayco, Coachmen, Forest River Class Cs or any other brand, we can move it for you. The overhead sleeping area needs extra protection; our team is well-versed in handling this.
2. Towable RVs
Just because these RVs don’t have motors doesn’t mean they’re simple to transport. Our recreational vehicle moving solutions include specialized equipment for all towable types.
A. Travel Trailers
We transport all sizes of travel trailers, from tiny teardrop models to 35-foot family units, to your new home.
These lightweight units are typically towed by SUVs or trucks, and come in a wide range of sizes. We can transport all models from Airstream, Jayco, Keystone, and Forest River, to Oliver Travel Trailers. When moving these, we pay special attention to hitch security and braking systems to ensure they arrive at your new home in perfect condition.
B. Fifth Wheel Trailers
These larger trailers need special handling due to their weight and two-level design.
Fifth wheels are larger trailers that hitch to a truck bed and often feature a bi-level design. Grand Design, Heartland, Keystone Cougar, and Dutchmen models are commonly seen and hauled by carrierst.
We take extra care to ensure leveling systems are properly secured during the journey to your new location.
C. Pop-Up Campers
The collapsible nature of pop-ups requires extra care during loading and transport to protect their mechanisms.
Pop-ups are compact, collapsible trailers that require special care during transport. Jayco, Aliner, Rockwood, and Coleman models all have unique folding mechanisms.
We protect the canvas and ensure the lifting systems are properly secured to prevent damage during the move to your new home.
D. Toy Haulers
With their dual-purpose design for hauling vehicles and living space, toy haulers need transport specialists who understand their unique balance points.
Toy haulers feature garage space for ATVs, motorcycles, and other toys. Models like the Keystone Raptor, Forest River Voltage, and Heartland Torque require special handling.
Our transport specialists pay particular attention to protecting the rear door and ramp and ensuring any built-in fuel stations are properly secured for safe transit.
E. Teardrop Trailers
Small but mighty, teardrops need proper securing to prevent shifting during transit.
Teardrop trailers are ultra-lightweight with minimalist designs. We can transport all kinds and brands including nuCamp TABs, Little Guys, and Happier Campers across the country.
Their compact size doesn’t mean they get less attention—we’re careful with galley hatch security and mindful of their lightweight construction throughout the entire transport process.
3. Specialty & Luxury RVs
High-end and unique RVs demand extra attention. Our team understands the value and special requirements for transporting these premium units during relocation.
A. Luxury Motorhomes
Luxury motorhomes represent the pinnacle of RV engineering and often cost as much as a house. Premium brands like Newmar King Aires, Tiffin Allegro Buses, Entegra Coaches, and Prevost H3-45s deserve white-glove treatment.
We take extra precautions with their high-value components and provide special protection for those custom paint jobs that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
B. Vintage/Classic RVs
Older models need carriers who understand their unique construction and fragility concerns.
Vintage and classic RVs have a special place in our transport services. Older Airstreams, Shastas, Avions, and Spartans need carriers who understand their unique construction.
We’re mindful of age-related fragility and take extra care with irreplaceable components that simply can’t be found anymore.
C. Park Model RVs
Park Model RVs are designed for long-term stationary living and require specialized heavy transport. Cavco, and Skyline models often qualify as oversized loads.
Our team has the permits and equipment needed to maintain structural integrity during the move to your new location.
D. Truck Campers
Though they’re designed to ride in truck beds, truck campers need proper securing when transported separate from their trucks.
Truck campers are slide-in units designed for pickup trucks but often need transport on their own. We can arrange carriers to carefully haul the likes of Lance, Arctic Fox, Palomino, and Northstar models.
We pay special attention to their jacks and tie-down systems, which can be vulnerable during transport if not properly secured.
E. Destination Trailers
Destination trailers sit somewhere between a mobile RV and a stationary tiny home. Forest River Wildwood and Keystone Hideout models are popular choices among enthusiasts and we can move them all.
Their residential appliances and unique weight distribution require carriers who properly balance and secure these heavier units.
4. Unique & Emerging RV Types
The RV world and our specialty vehicle transport capabilities keep evolving. We stay current with new models and their special requirements.
A. Electric RVs
These cutting-edge vehicles need transport specialists who understand battery safety and charging systems.
Electric RVs represent the cutting edge of the industry. Newer models like the Winnebago e-RV and Thor Tellaro need transport specialists who understand battery safety.

Built for off-road adventures, these rugged units have special equipment that needs protection during transport.

Cost of RV Relocation Services For Residential Relocations:
Moving with RV doesn’t have to be super expensive. However, since there are different types, sizes, and weight classes in RVs, the costs vary significantly. The average cost per mile ranges from $1.50 to $9.00 per mile depending on the total distance, RV size, type (standard vs luxury), whether you need breakdown and setup services, and so on.
Here’s a breakdown of costs by RV type:
- Campers/Travel Trailers: $1.50 – $3.50 per mile
- Class A Motorhomes: $3.00 – $6.00+ per mile
- Luxury/Heavy RVs: Up to $9.00+ per mile (e.g., large fifth wheels, high-end motorhomes).
The key factors that affect trailer relocation costs include:
- RV Size/Weight: Larger RVs (e.g., Class A motorhomes, fifth wheels) cost more.
- Distance: The per-mile rate may be reduced for longer hauls (e.g., $2.50/mile for 4,000 miles).
- Season: Peak times (summer/winter) increase prices.
- Route Complexity: Remote or off-highway destinations raise costs.
- Transport Type: Enclosed trailers or expedited shipping add premiums.
Remember, these are just estimates, the cost can be different depending on your situation. Call us at (888) 687-3243 to get a free, no-obligation RV shipping quote. There’s no harm in finding out the cost; it’ll just take a few minutes.
7 Tips For Smoothly Transporting RV During Relocation:
Moving with RV shouldn’t have to be super complicated. Here are a few tips you can use to save time, money and unforeseen complications:
1. Book Early to Lock in Rates & Availability
The early bird gets more than the worm when it comes to RV transport. Most people wait until the last minute, then scramble to find carriers. Book your RV relocation services 4-6 weeks ahead, especially during summer and fall. You’ll lock in better rates and avoid the panic of limited availability.
Companies often reward advance planning with early booking discounts between 5-10% off. That’s serious savings for just making a phone call a few weeks earlier.
2. Prep Your RV Like a Pro
Proper preparation makes a huge difference. Before transport, empty all tanks, including water, propane, and sewage. The reduced weight helps with fuel efficiency and prevents potential leaks or damage.
Retract everything that sticks out - awnings, antennas, and satellite dishes. Then head inside and secure loose items. A coffee mug bouncing around during transport can cause surprising damage. Use bungee cords on cabinet doors and remove anything valuable or fragile.
Don’t forget to disconnect batteries and disable alarms. Nothing’s worse than your RV alarm blaring halfway through transport!
3. Choose the Right Transport Method
Open transport is great for standard RVs like Class C motorhomes or travel trailers. It’s more affordable and widely available. But if you have a high-end luxury coach or vintage Airstream, consider enclosed transport. The extra protection from weather and road debris is worth the additional cost.
| Transport Type | Best For | Average Cost Premium | Protection Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Transport | Standard RVs, short distances | Base rate | Basic (exposed to elements) |
| Enclosed Transport | Luxury/vintage RVs, long distances | +30-50% | Maximum (fully protected) |
Your RV type should guide this decision. Recreational vehicle moving solutions come in different forms - make sure you choose what fits your specific needs.
4. Verify Insurance & Document Condition
Never assume insurance coverage. Always confirm the carrier’s policy covers your RV’s full value. Ask for proof in writing before they touch your vehicle.
Before transport, take detailed photos and videos of your RV’s condition. Take clear shots of the exterior and interior, and remember to document the odometer reading. This simple step creates a clear record in case of disputes.
Most problems happen when there’s no documentation. A 20-minute photo session can save thousands in potential disputes.
5. Sync Delivery with Your Moving Timeline
Coordination is key when transporting RV during relocation. Share your household moving schedule with your RV transporter. They need to know when you’ll arrive at your new place.
If timelines don’t align perfectly, have a plan B ready. Short-term storage might cost a little extra, but it beats the chaos of having nowhere to put your RV if it arrives before you’re ready.
6. Track the Journey & Stay in Touch
Modern technology makes tracking simple. Most quality carriers offer regular updates. Take advantage of this - it reduces anxiety when you can see where your RV is.
Keep your phone handy and provide reliable contact info. Confirm delivery details 24 hours before arrival. This simple check-in prevents miscommunication and delivery hiccups.
7. Inspect Thoroughly at Delivery
When your RV arrives, don’t rush the inspection. Compare its condition to your pre-transport photos. Test lights, brakes, and plumbing systems for functionality. Look for any new dents, scratches, or issues.
Please only sign the delivery paperwork and bill of lading after you’re satisfied. Once you sign, making claims becomes much harder. Take your time—this final check ensures any problems are addressed immediately.
Work with a specialized RV transporter (not general movers) to leverage secure tie-downs, route planning, and RV-specific logistics expertise. Companies like Easy Auto Ship tailor services to home relocations, ensuring your RV arrives as smoothly as your household goods.
