How Does RV & Trailer Shipping Work?
3 Easy steps to move your RV
Get a Quote & Book Your Shipment
Shipping an RV or travel trailer is different from standard auto transport. Most units are hauled behind a pickup truck or semi-tractor, which affects pricing and logistics.
To generate accurate RV shipping quotes, we’ll need:
– Year, make, and model of the vehicle
– Any custom modifications
– Type of trailer hitch
– Pickup and delivery ZIP codes
– Your contact email and phone number
Once submitted, you’ll receive competitive quotes from our vetted carrier network – usually within hours.
Driver Picks Up Your RV
After selecting your preferred carrier, they’ll reach out to confirm logistics and send full shipment details – including estimated pickup/delivery dates, driver name, and contact number.
Receive & Inspect Your Vehicle
When your RV or trailer arrives, inspect it carefully before the driver departs. Any damage must be noted on the Bill of Lading immediately – claims filed after the driver leaves are frequently denied by insurers. If you spot any issues, contact your shipping coordinator right away and we’ll help you navigate the claims process.

Note: The average costs listed above serve as baseline estimates. Your exact RV or trailer shipping rate will depend on the vehicle's class (Class A, B, C, or 5th wheel), dimensions, weight, and the transport method (tow-away vs. flatbed hauling). Oversized rigs or non-running RVs may require special permits and equipment, which will affect the final price.
FAQ
How much does it cost to ship an RV or travel trailer?
RV and travel trailer shipping typically costs between $1.50 and $4.00 per mile, depending on distance. Short hauls under 500 miles average $400–$900. Cross-country shipments of 2,000+ miles generally run $3,000–$5,000 or more for standard travel trailers. Final price depends on RV type and size, total distance, route accessibility, and whether the unit is operable.
How long does it take to transport a travel trailer across the US?
Transit time depends on distance. Shipments under 800 miles are typically delivered in 1–3 days. Routes between 800–1,500 miles take 4–5 days. Long-haul transport of 1,500–2,400 miles averages 6–7 days. Cross-country shipments over 2,400 miles may take up to 8–12 days. These are estimates and can vary based on carrier availability and route conditions.
What information is needed to get an RV shipping quote?
To generate an accurate RV transport quote, carriers need the year, make, and model of the vehicle, any custom modifications, the type of trailer hitch, pickup and delivery ZIP codes, and contact information. Non-standard dimensions or inoperable status must also be disclosed upfront, as these factors directly affect pricing and carrier availability.
What is a Bill of Lading and why does it matter for RV transport?
A Bill of Lading (BOL) is a legal document completed at pickup that records the vehicle's condition before transport. Any pre-existing damage is noted on this form. If damage is discovered at delivery and was not listed on the BOL, insurance companies will typically deny the claim. Always inspect your RV thoroughly before signing off at delivery.
What is the difference between RV hauling and drive-away transport?
Hauling means the RV or trailer is physically attached to a carrier's truck and towed to the destination. Drive-away means a professional driver operates or tows the vehicle using their own tow vehicle. Hauling is more common for non-motorized trailers and inoperable units. Drive-away is typically used for motorhomes and can be more cost-effective on shorter routes.
Can a 5th wheel trailer be shipped with a regular pickup truck?
Yes. Fifth-wheel trailers are designed to connect to a standard pickup truck bed via a kingpin hitch, making them one of the more straightforward trailer types to haul. Most carriers handling 5th wheels use heavy-duty pickup trucks or semi-tractors depending on the trailer's weight and length. No specialized flatbed equipment is typically required for standard 5th wheel units.
