How Much Does it Cost to Ship an RV? - Let’s Crunch Some Numbers!
At Easy Auto Ship, we’re all about making mobile home transport a breeze! However, we understand that one of the chief concerns when packing up and moving your RV is just how much it will cost to ship it. So, let’s crunch some numbers and give you a ballpark figure.
Our mobile home transports are tailored to your specific needs, and the cost can vary based on several factors.
Still, if you’re just looking for a general idea, the average price of mobile home transport can range from $4 to $9 per mile , with the total cost usually falling between $1,000 and $15,000.
Let’s break it down a bit further. If you’re planning a short-distance move of about 200 to 1,000 miles, you can expect to shell out between $1,000 and $5,000.
But if you aim for a long haul spanning 1,200 and 3,000 miles , the price tag could range from $6,000 to $15,000.
Many factors can influence these estimates, including the type of your mobile home (single-wide or double-wide), its weight and dimensions, the total distance of the move, and the time of year (with prices tending to go up during peak vacation times).
So, let’s take a few real-world examples for perspective:
- Single-wide mobile home transport from Florida to Texas (1,400 miles) could cost you between $8,000 and $10,000
- Double-wide mobile home transit from Texas to Louisiana (500 miles) might run you about $4,000 to $5,000
- A triple-wide or multi-wide mobile home from Louisiana to Florida could set you back by about $6,000 to $7,000
- Shipping a Fifth Wheel Camper from Ohio to Texas (1,300 miles) could cost around $7,000
- Moving a Class A Motorhome from North Carolina to Florida (657 miles) might set you back about $5,000 to $6,000
- Hauling a camper from Ohio to New York (500 miles) could easily go up to $4,500
At Easy Auto Ship, our mobile home movers have state-of-the-art equipment, and our extensive experience helps us offer quality solutions for single-wide, double-wide, and triple-wide mobile homes.
We strive to offer competitive prices and a seamless experience, so reach out to one of our friendly mobile home shipping specialists today for personalized assistance and advice on relocating your mobile home in the most budget-friendly way possible.

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).
Since the distance is very far, the price will be slightly lower than regular short-distance moves, so let’s take $2.5 per mile as an example.
So, 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 a 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
Now, you’re armed with an understanding of the price variables involved in recreational vehicle transportation. At Easy Auto Ship, we strive to ensure our solutions are as transparent as a freshly cleaned windshield.
We’re known for providing the best RV and car transport, boasting excellent reviews. We’re like relay runners in this industry, lugging your valuable ship from one end of the US to the other.
Our customer reviews highlight our mission to provide accurate quotes and top-notch services. If you’re planning a move or just need your car shipped from A to B, call us at (888) 687-3243 today and speak to one of our auto relocation specialists!
How is RV Transport Cost Calculated? - Different Expenses Involved In the Whole Process
For those with a penchant for details, we’ll give you a thorough breakdown of the various expenses involved in the recreational vehicle moves. The total quotation of moving your recreational vehicle from one end of the country to another (say, California to New York) will be three primary expenses.
Preparation & Breakdown: $1,500 to $2,000
The first pitstop in this journey is the preparation & breakdown expense. This part of the journey lightens your wallet by about $1,500 to $2,000. “Why so?” I hear you ask. Well, this phase involves a slew of tasks, including packing material like furniture pads and blankets, plywood sheeting, shrink wrap, ratchet straps, and tarps.
Then there’s the dismantling of external fixtures, draining fluids, disconnecting utilities, and disconnecting batteries. This ensures your RV is ready for the road, making recreational vehicle transportation smoother and safer.
Transportation: $6,000 to $8,000
Now comes the actual transit expense. This is the meat of the matter and accounts for a significant chunk of your recreational vehicle relocation budget, ranging between $6,000 to $8,000. This part of the quote is determined by variables like the distance to be traveled, the size of your RV, and the specific route taken (some routes are more expensive than others).
For instance, a trip down the scenic Route 66 might cost you a few extra bucks compared to the straight and narrow I-40. It also includes the carrier’s expenses, tractor transport (if required), and trucks involved in the move.
Post-Delivery Assembly: $1,500 to $2,000
Lastly, we have the Post-Delivery Assembly prices. Once your Recreational vehicle reaches its destination, it needs some TLC to get it back in shape for your next adventure. This typically involves reassembling the fixtures, reconnecting utilities plumbing, refilling the fluids, and reconnecting the batteries. It’s like giving your RV a spa day after a long haul! This process will typically set you back between $1,500 to $2,000.
Total Cost of Moving an RV From California to New York (3,000 Miles): $9,000 to $12,000
Adding to these expenses, the total quote for shipping your RV from the Golden State to the Big Apple (a hefty 3,000-mile journey!) would be between $9,000 and $12,000. While these figures may make your wallet feel a tad light-headed, remember that the quote provided for our recreational vehicle transportation includes all these costs. So, there won’t be any nasty surprises waiting for you at the end of your RV’s journey.
3,000 Mile RV Transit Expense Category | Cost Range |
---|---|
Preparation & Breakdown | $1,500 to $2,000 |
Transportation | $6,000 to $8,000 |
Post-Delivery Assembly | $1,500 to $2,000 |
Total Cost (3,000 Miles) | $9,000 to $12,000 |
Whether you’re a seasoned road runner or a newbie looking to dive into the world of RV adventures, remember that the price of recreational vehicle relocation is a multi-faceted figure. And just like a well-planned trip, it’s best to map out these expenses before you start your journey. Remember, the way to a successful recreational vehicle move is paved with careful planning and a thorough understanding of the expenses involved.

How Long it Takes to Ship a Recreational Vehicle?
Typically, it takes 2-5 days for transporting recreational vehicles within 1,000 miles of distance. For 1,000 to 2,000 iles, it can take 4-6 days while anything above 2,500 miles require 7-9 days/ Shipping a recreational vehicle generally involves several factors that can influence the transit time. Here are the factors:
Distance:
This is one of the primary factors that will determine shipping time. The farther the destination, the longer it will take.
Route:
Shipping routes, especially if they cut through busy major cities or cross difficult terrains, can significantly impact the time taken for shipment.
Weather:
Inclement weather conditions can delay RV shipping. In certain cases, it might not be safe to transport an RV through storms, heavy rainfall or snowfall.
Traffic:
Traffic congestion, accidents, road repairs, or any other disruptions that affect the route can potentially lengthen shipping times.
Legal Regulations:
There are regulations to consider regarding hours a driver can operate continuously. Typically drivers are allowed to be on the road for 11 hours in a 14-hour period after which they are required by law to rest.
Size of Your RV:
Larger RVs may require special handling or routing which could impact the speed of transport.
Based on all these factors alluded to above, let’s look at some examples shipping an RV from state to state.
- New York, NY to Los Angeles, CA: Approximately 2,790 miles. The estimated transit time could be around 6-8 days.
- Phoenix, AZ to Dallas, TX: Approximately 1,060 miles. This could take around 3-5 days.
- Miami, FL to Chicago, IL: Roughly 1,430 miles. This might take about 4-6 days to ship.
- Seattle, WA to Denver, CO: Roughly 1,325 miles. Transit time could be estimated at around 4-6 days.
- Boston, MA to Nashville, TN: Approximately 1,100 miles. This could take about 3-5 days for delivery.
- Detroit, MI to Atlanta, GA: Roughly 720 miles. This could take about 3-4 days for transport.
- Las Vegas, NV to San Francisco, CA: Approximately 570 miles. The estimated time for delivery could be around 2-3 days.
Remember these are rough estimates and the timing depends on the factors mentioned above. It’s also essential to keep in mind that any customs or inspection delays can also add time to these estimates, especially during busy periods.

With Nearly 5,000 Online Reviews — Including Google, BirdEye, and BBB— People Vouch For Our Services - Here’s What They Say About Our RV Hauling Solutions
⭐ Review from Maggie Targoni
“We looked online and chose Easy Auto Ship. Gary was so nice and reassuring. We expected it to take longer, but a driver was assigned the job the next day, and our motorhome arrived 3 days later. Great job. We highly recommend them!” - Maggie Targoni
How We Hauled Maggie’s RV from Texas to California:
Maggie’s husband purchased a used RV in TX, and they needed to get it transported to their home in CA. The Recreational vehicle required mechanical work, which made it impossible for them to drive it back home.
The RV was picked up from Texas and delivered to California.
Gary from Easy Auto Ship reassured them about the entire process. The team quickly found a driver the next day, and the Recreational vehicle was delivered within three days.
⭐ Review from John Popowski
" Abby was awesome in setting everything up and keeping in touch. Josh and TJ went above and beyond picking up our rig. Left old site spotless. Drop off timely and efficiently. It kept me posted the whole trip. These guys are 5 star. Reasonably priced with no surprises. Highly recommend" - John Popowski.
How We Shipped John’s RV from Florida to New Jersey:
John needed to move his Recreational vehicle from FL to NJ. The RV was picked up from FL and transported to New Jersey.
Abby from Easy Auto Ship managed the process, staying in touch with John throughout. Josh and TJ handled the pickup and drop-off, ensuring the old site was spotless. They also kept John updated throughout the trip.
⭐ Review From Rod Allmon
“We made arrangements, and the driver notified me within one day of transport arrangement. They ran into a small problem with the trailer during transit but kept me posted and advised it had nothing to do with the RV. Ezekiel and Joseph were sharp and professional at the time of delivery. 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:
Rod purchased a small Recreational vehicle in California, which was an odd size and required a specific type of transport.
Anthony from Easy Auto Ship managed to find a suitable transport option within two hours of contact.
Despite a minor issue with the trailer during transit, which had nothing to do with the RV, Ezekiel and Joseph maintained professionalism throughout the delivery.
