Tips For Transporting A Travel Trailer

One of the benefits of a travel trailer is that they can be easily towed behind a car or truck so that you have a place to stay with you wherever you go. But sometimes, such as when you buy a travel trailer that’s not in your immediate area, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to have it shipped or transported by a third party. In this article, we’ll explain the ins and outs of having a travel trailer transported, as well as your options, and what you should look for when considering a shipper to do the job.

Why Hire Someone To Move A Travel Trailer?

As we noted above, if you buy a travel trailer and it’s located elsewhere, especially a long distance from where you are, it can make sense to hire someone else to move it for you. While it makes sense and is perfectly feasible to simply drive to where it’s located, hitch it up, and haul it back yourself, this does not come without some associated costs. Not only do you need to consider the gas costs of driving round trip, as well as the extra weight that will require more gas on the way back, but it can also be a significant time investment. If you buy one that’s within less than 100 miles from you, it’s perfectly sensible to go get it yourself, but if it’s in another state or even across the country, the time and money it will cost to haul it on your own may exceed the cost of hiring a transporter to do the job.

Choosing the Right Company to Ship Your Travel Trailer

There’s no shortage of transport companies available, but not all of them are an ideal fit for shipping a travel trailer or fifth wheel. While many companies are well-versed in the process of shipping cars and other vehicles, that doesn’t mean they also have the expertise required to haul recreational vehicles. When researching prospective companies to hire to move your travel trailer, there are a couple things you should keep in mind. The first is to make sure they have the requisite experience. If a company doesn’t have a proven track record of moving trailers, you should probably find one that does. Secondly, their experience and process of moving travel trailers should be clearly spelled out. This can mean their website thoroughly explains what and how they do it, or a representative you speak to on the phone should be able to answer all your questions and address any concerns you may have.
