RV Movers Beaverton, Oregon

Traveling around with an RV is a thrilling experience for the whole family, but shipping one to another state or country for the sake of a trip isn’t easy or cheap. There’s a lot of elements that go into the shipping process of an RV. Luckily for you, our experts at A-1 Auto Transport are here to give you a brief rundown of how it all works.

Estimated Cost & Time For Transportation

*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle you are shipping.

Cost Factors

A variety of factors influence the cost of hauling an RV:

1. The transport distance, which is the distance between the RV's current location and the destination.

2. The cost of shipping is determined by the current price of fuel.

3. The period determines the quote because moving in bad weather increases the risks involved, whereas shipping in low-traffic periods results in lower quotes.

4. The size of the RV is another important factor to consider because the larger the RV, the higher the transportation costs.

Moving a Campervan Domestically

RV hauling is common, particularly among motor home dealers and manufacturers, and owners rely on professional services to transport their large vehicles over long distances. Hiring a transporter can protect your large vehicle from a variety of road mishaps. Fortunately, RV transport services are reasonably priced. All documents, instructions, and keys should be ready for the transport company to pick up your RV.

If you are transporting the motor home to another country, contact the embassy to obtain the most recent import instructions and tax rates. To receive customs clearance, you must meet all of the requirements.

International Hauling

We have been shipping RVs for over two decades. The process of relocating a campervan internationally is similar to that of transporting other vehicles. Boat transportation is preferred when transporting vehicles. RVs are towed or driven to their final destination by a safe-transportation vessel and then towed or driven there using standard transportation methods.

Different Relocating Methods

There are numerous options for delivering your RV, whether domestically or internationally, but it is best to hire a reputable company. If you're having trouble deciding on the best method for shipping your RV, customer service for transportation can assist you.

Among the methods are:

• Flatbed shipping is used for long-distance transportation but has weight and height limitations.
• Flat Rack shipping is an open-air method that is less expensive.
• Open-air ground transport method: A flatbed trailer transports your RV by ground and leaves it exposed to the elements.
• Closed air-ground transport method: It is better in bad weather because the RV is protected from the elements.

Tips to Prepare Your Campercar for Transport

Your van should be properly prepared before being transported to its destination.

1. Always close the doors and windows of the RV and secure your furniture.
2. Have your RV serviced professionally before transport.
3. Remove any valuable items from your RV to prevent damage during transportation.
4. Before shipping, inspect your brakes and lights for proper operation and document any damage.
5. Disconnect all electrical appliances.
