How Much Does it Cost to Ship an RV? - Let’s Crunch Some Numbers!

The final price to ship an RV depends on a list of factors but general estimates range from $4 to $9 per mile. That means, the total shipping price for 200-1,000 miles is $1,000 to $5,000. But if the distance increases the price will increase too, which is around $6,000 to $15,000 for a distance of 1,200-3,000 miles.

Here are some estimated cost examples to help you understand better:

• If you’re shipping a single-wide RV from Florida to Texas (1,195 miles), the shipping cost can range between $8,000- $10,000.

• For a slightly bigger RV, the shipping cost will be $4,000-$5,000, when the distance is 546 miles (Texas to Louisiana)

• The price to ship a triple-wide RV from Louisiana to Florida can cost you between $6,000-$7,000

• Transporting a Fifth Wheel Camper over 1,200 miles (from Ohio to Texas) can cost around $7,000

• The driving distance from North Carolina to Florida is 640 miles. And if you ship a Class A Motorhome between these two states, the estimated shipping cost will be $5,000-$6,000

• If you ship a Camper from Ohio to New York, that’ll cost you almost $4,500

And you will need assistance from electricians, plumbers, and technicians. Our professional moving team has everything and everyone you need.

What About Shipping RV to and From Alaska or Hawaii?

Shipping a recreational vehicle or fifth wheel to and from Alaska or Hawaii is possible. The relocation quotes will be calculated based on the distance for AK and per cubic foot of the freight for Hawaii.

Furthermore, additional fares of craning, land towing, and ferry will be added, which can be 25-40% extra, but this is very subjective as recreational vehicles differ in shapes and sizes, the points of origin and destination vary significantly as well so we cannot give any specific numbers.

Then there are also the assembly/preparation and disassembly expenses, but you can keep the estimate between $2,000 and $5,000.

Shipping RV to Alaska:

Let’s take an example of Class A camper transport from Dallas, TX, to Anchorage, AK (4,000 miles).

The distance is significant so the rate per mile will be slightly lower than regular short-distance moves. Let’s take $2.5 per mile as an example.

The total cost from Dallas, TX, to Anchorage, AK, will become $10,000.

Shipping RV to Hawaii:

If we move a camper or fifth wheel from the west coast of the US (California, Oregon, and Washington) to a port in HI through freight, then the price per cubic foot can be between $3 and $4.

The larger the dimensions of your RV, the more space it will take up on the ship and the more it will cost to move. For instance, if you move a Class A 25ft Motorhome, then its cubic feet could be:

• Length = 25ft

• Height = 12ft

• Width = 10ft

Cubic Feet = 25x12x10 = 3000cbft

Now the RV shipping cost on the lower end will be = 3,000 x $3 = $9,000

The RV hauling price on the highest end will be = 3,000 x $4 = $12,000

Hundreds of RV owners trust our services when it comes to up-front quotes, a transparent shipping process, and experienced professionals. We’ll stay in touch and give you real-time updates about your recreational vehicle when it’s on its way. So, if you’re planning to move long-distance or you’ve just bought an RV in another state, hire us for the most dependable and well-equipped RV shipping services in town.

How is RV Transport Cost Calculated? - Different Expenses Involved In the Whole Process

Here’s a thorough breakdown of the different expenses involved in moving your recreational vehicle. So if you want to know how the total cost of shipping your RV (let’s say from California to New York) is calculated, here are the details.

Preparation & Breakdown: $1,500 to $2,000

The first step is preparing your RV for shipping and it will cost around $1,500 to $2,000. This step covers the packing up of your recreational home and dismantling its extended parts. That means you don’t have to worry about packing your mobile home; we’ll do it for you. From vacating the interior to even boxing up ratchet straps and tarps, we’ll do it all.

And since it’s required by the law to drain any liquids, disconnect batteries, and utilities of a vehicle for safe shipping, this will be covered in our preparation and breakdown steps as well.

Transportation: $6,000 to $8,000

The second part is the main budget of your RV relocation which is between $6,000 and $8,000. This is the price which mainly depends on distance, your RV size and type, and the shipping route.

Remember that some routes cost more to ship than others. For instance, the scenic Route 66 is expensive for shipping when compared to the route Interstate 40. Also, the final transportation cost depends on the shipping method too.

Post-Delivery Assembly: $1,500 to $2,000

The last step is the post-delivery assembly of the parts and fixtures that were disassembled in the first step. For instance, refilling water in the tank, plumbing all the utilities back, and reconnecting the batteries. So this step will approximately cost you around $2,000.

Total Cost of Moving an RV From California to New York (3,000 Miles): $9,000 to $12,000

Finally, moving your motorhome between two far off states can cost you around 9,000 to 12,000 dollars. We understand this may seem like a huge amount at first glance. But if you break down all the expenses involved in shipping, the final shipping cost makes sense. Also, keep in mind, we’re covering everything you need to ship your RV, from the breakdown part to transportation, and then assembling fixtures back after we reach your destination.

How Long it Takes to Ship a Recreational Vehicle?

It will take 2-5 days to ship your RV under 1,000 miles and up to 6 days for 1,000 to 2,000 miles. But if the shipping distance is above 2,500 miles, the drop-off will take approximately 7-9 days.

Your total shipping time depends on other factors too, such as:

Distance:

As already mentioned, this is the main factor that determines your total shipping time. The more the distance, the longer it will take to ship.

Route:

The Shipping route can also change the estimated delivery time. For instance, if the shipment has to pass through busy traffic areas or if your drop-off location is some hard-to-reach area, it will take longer than usual to ship.

Weather:

Harsh weather conditions also impact your RV shipment time. Studies revealed that the impact of weather events on travel time reliability is even more than the average delay, and snowfall events impact travel time twice as much as heavy rains.

Traffic:

Some unexpected delay can happen as well due to unforeseen circumstances like an accident, a road block, or a traffic jam.

Legal Regulations:

Some legal regulations can change the expected delivery time too. For example, as per FMCSA directions, a driver’s only allowed to be on the road for 11 hours in a 14-hour consecutive window when carrying a load over 4,536 kgs, after which they’re required by law to take a rest.

Size of Your RV:

This may come as a surprise but the size of your RV can impact the shipping time too. For instance, larger recreational vehicles require more time to ship, as they need special handling and routing.

Here are some real-world examples for you to understand how long it can take to ship:

• From New York, NY to LA, California (2,798 miles), it might take around 6-8 days for the shipment to reach.

• Since the distance from Phoenix, AZ to Dallas, TX is comparatively shorter (1,069 miles), the shipment time will be around 3-5 days.

• Expect to receive your RV within 4-6 days, when shipping between Miami and Chicago.

• From Seattle to Denver, the delivery of your vehicle will take 4-6 days.

• For a short distance like Boston, MA to Nashville, TN (1,105 miles), the shipping time will be 3-5 days

• If you’re moving your mobile home from Detroit to Atlanta (723 miles), the transport will approximately take 3-4 days

• Shipping your mobile home from Las Vegas to San Francisco (568 miles) will take 2-3 days

Some Common Types of RVs We Move

No matter the kind of RV you own, we have the equipment and expert carriers to safely move them anywhere across the US.

Class A Motorhomes and RVs

Class A is the largest motorized RV that’s constructed on a heavy-duty chassis and resembles a bus. Offers lots of space and residential-style living.

Class C Motorhomes and RVs

A midsized RV built on a van or truck chassis and can easily be identified with its storage or sleeping area over the driver’s cab.

Campers RV

The term “Campers RV” refers to a range of recreational vehicles, from fifth wheels to towable recreational vehicles, similar to how cars come in various styles and sizes. We ship all of them without discrimination.

Towable RVs

Towable RVs require a reliable car for towing. They offer diverse floor plans and interiors, catering to varied camping styles. Our robust hauling solutions ensure these are delivered safely.

Fifth Wheel Trailer RV

It attaches to a special hitch in the bed of a pickup car, creating a bi-level floor plan that’s spacious and comfortable. Require some planning to safely move due to multi-storey design.

Travel Trailers

Also known as Bumper Pull trailers, these come in various sizes and floor plans, suitable for every camping style. There’s a travel trailer for everyone, from solo travelers to large families. Usually attached to a standard bumper hitch.

Expandable RV Trailers

They offer unique features, from expandable sections for additional interior space to car-like garage space for outdoor sports gear for a minimalist camping experience. We ship these unique car RVs with the same meticulous attention to detail.

Toy RV Haulers

These are mostly used by adventure enthusiasts as Toy RVs feature an integrated garage and a ramp door to carry gears such as ATVs.

Truck Bed Camper

These little guys fit right in the bed of your pickup car, offering a simple and bare-bones camping experience. Despite their compact size, we treat them with the same care and respect as any other car or recreational vehicle while shipping.

Utility Trailers

Also known as cargo trailers, they’re workhorse trailers designed to transport just about anything between point A and B, be it a beloved boat or a car that’s seen better days. But when these trailers need a ride, Easy Auto Ship can transport them as well

Teardrop Trailers

A very small, aerodynamic towable trailer containing a basic sleeping area. Shipping these is usually cheaper than other RV types due to their smaller profile.

Horse Trailers

A horse trailer with living quarters is considered an RV so if you’ve got one, with or even without living arrangement, we can help you safely move it across the country.

Double-Decker

These two-level Titans offer an unconventionally luxurious interior layout akin to transporting a tiny house on wheels. Our company ensures that such opulent car trailers are shipped seamlessly with top-notch solutions.

Park Model RVs

This one’s a large, towable RV designed for long-term seasonal placement rather than frequent travel. We can help you ship it from one campsite or to another or anywhere you want.

Pop-Up Campers

A lightweight, collapsible towable RV with canvas walls that “pops up” when parked. If you’re looking to safely transport this one without damaging its wall materials, we can help.

These are the sturdiest car trailers designed for military use or extreme expeditions. Even with their superior build to endure harsh conditions, our haulers are primed for moving them.

Common RV Manufacturers We Transport

Types of RV Transport Services

Whether you’re a full-time Recreational vehicle nomad or just planning an epic cross-country trip, understanding the ins and outs of RV shipping services is a must.

Open Carrier RV Shipping

Open recreational vehicle carriers are a favorite for many, and quite understandably so. Picture this: an enormous, open truck bed, the very image of rugged utilitarianism, with your RV sitting atop, basking in the sunlight, wind flowing through its vent covers like it’s auditioning for a car commercial. It’s a no-frills solution that’s easy on your wallet but does leave your Recreational vehicle exposed to weather and debris.

Enclosed RV Shipping

If your RV needs some protection from the rain, dust, UV rays, flying road debris, and envious glances from fellow motorists, enclosed transport is the right choice. However, the cost can be 30-40% more than open carrier transport.

Door-to-Door RV Shipping

The shipper picks up your Recreational vehicle from your front door and delivers it to the front door of your chosen destination. It’s a convenient solution for those who want to avoid the hassle of arranging pickup and drop-off of their RVs at the company’s terminals.

Terminal-to-Terminal RV Shipping

Your RV is relocated from the terminal near to your location to another terminal near the destination point. This means you’re responsible for dropping and picking it from the terminals, which can be a little inconvenient but costs less than door to door.

Flatbed RV Shipping

A massive flatbed trailer with the right weight carrying capacity as your RV to ensure it’s shipped safely. If the RV is oversized like those double-decker motorhomes, then relevant permits can be arranged from the Department of Transport as well.

International RV Shipping

For those planning a transcontinental adventure, this comes into play. It’s a high-seas adventure for your RV – relocating overseas, usually by RoRo on a boat. It’s a little complicated process with all the customs requirements and documentation but our partners help you with everything so you don’t have to go back and forth with the port authorities and customs agents.

RV Towing Services

For short distance moves, we can arrange short distance hauling services for your RV using dependable carriers. Whether it’s 10, 50, or 100 miles, we can help.

Easy Auto Ship shines as the best in the business, offering a range of RV shipping tailored to your needs. If you'd like to speak to one of our auto transport specialists, ring us at (888) 687-3243 today!

How We Hauled Maggie’s RV from Texas to California:

“We made arrangements, and the driver notified me within one day of transport arrangement.

No issues (other than the trailer) from start to finish. Thanks to all three of you.” - Rod Allmon

How We Transported Rod’s RV in California:
