It may seem silly to move an RV but this is a very common practice. It’s often necessary for dealerships and manufacturers to use a hauling service to get their camper from one location to the next. A lot of RV owners also use professional auto transport services to get their RV elsewhere. By using a shipping service, you’re protecting the camper from increased mileage and normal wear and tear from the road. Fortunately, it isn’t that expensive to buy RV transit services.
What Affects The Cost Of RV Shipping?
- The RV’s specifications including the model, age, weight, and overall condition
- The distance of travel between the pickup and drop-off locations
- The type of hauling services you purchase
- The total weight of the RV and anything else being shipped
- The time of year that the camper is to haul
- Current fuel costs at the time of the transit
When you call a shipping company for a quote, be as detailed as possible when giving a company representative information. Be prepared with the RV’s specifics. It should only take a few minutes for them to come up with a quote.
The Economical Way To Haul A Camper
The absolute cheapest way to ship a camper is through an open air service. With this shifting service, the RV will either travel atop a flatbed trailer or be pulled by a freight truck. It all depends on what the auto transport company you hired suggests. They’ll know the best and safest way to ship your RV.
Although the open-air hauling method leaves the camper susceptible to poor weather conditions and other potential hazards while on the road, this method is used often by many camper owners, dealers, and enthusiasts. A reputable, licensed transit company will protect the RV by covering it under their insurance policy. If any damages occur during the shifting process, the insurance coverage will pay for the cost of repairs and replacements. By law, transport companies must provide insurance protection to all their customers. If the mover doesn’t have insurance coverage, you shouldn’t trust them to ship your RV.
