Franklin Shipping Cost & Time To Ship Your RV Examples

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

Factors Influencing RV Shipping Prices

A-1 Auto Transport takes the following factors into account when determining the price to move a recreational vehicle (RV):

• The general condition and specifications of the RV.
• The distance from your current location to the destination.
• The season of the year during which the cargo is to be transported.
• The price of gasoline at the time of shipping.

Shipping an RV Locally

Shipping an RV within the U.S. requires a standard RV trailer. Shipping RV domestically is much simpler than international shipping.

International Methods of Shipping an RV

RVs are typically shipped overseas by ocean transport (cargo ships). To ship an RV to a foreign country, it must be transported by cargo ship from the United States. As soon as the RV reaches the new country, it will be transported by a trailer to the desired location.

Diverse Means to Ship an RV

• Shipping via cargo ships: In this method, the RV is safely enclosed in a large shipping container and transported aboard a ship. Although it is a relatively expensive method, it provides the best protection for the RV.
• Flat Rack Shipping: In this shipping method, the RV is mounted on a rack placed atop a ship without additional protection. While it is not a very reliable method, it is relatively inexpensive.
• Flatbed trailer shipping: This is a relatively standard and cost-effective means of transportation. It involves transporting the RV on a flatbed trailer.
• Enclosed transportation: RVs are often transported in large cargo containers and then pulled by freight trucks. In this way, the RV is protected from harsh weather conditions and road hazards.

Preparing your RV for shipping

• Have all the documentation, keys, and directions ready when the transport company arrives to pick up the RV.
• Check that all of the lights in the RV are working correctly. Check that the hitch and tow bar are securely fastened and connected.
• Inspect all fluid levels to determine whether or not they are completely filled. Inspect for any leaks. Should any leaks be detected, ensure to fix them before shipping. A maintenance procedure is necessary before the shipping date.
• Ensure that all appliances and devices are turned off and disconnected.
• Closing and locking every door, window, cupboard, and drawer in your RV are necessary. It is essential that all home décor, including paintings, sculptures, or pieces hung on the wall, be safely removed and secured.
