RV transport companies, without the guesswork

Shipping an RV is its own skill. We connect you with people who do it every day.

Whether you just bought a coach three states away, you are relocating, or you are selling to an out-of-state buyer, moving an RV is not like shipping a car. Height, length, slide-outs, and whether the thing even runs all change who can legally haul it and what it costs. We are RVBrokers, and while we are not a transport carrier ourselves, we know the RV world cold and we connect you with vetted, insured RV transport companies for driveaway and towaway moves.

You tell us the pickup, the destination, and the RV. We line up trusted carriers, you compare real quotes, and you book the one that fits. The match costs you nothing.

How it works

Getting your RV moved handled is three steps.

STEP 01

Tell us the move

Pickup ZIP, destination ZIP, what the RV is, and when. Two minutes on the form above.

STEP 02

We match vetted carriers

We work with insured, reviewed RV transporters, not an anonymous load board. We line up options that fit your rig and route.

STEP 03

You compare and book

You see real quotes and pick. There is no obligation, and the match costs you nothing. We make our money elsewhere, so we push the best fit, not the priciest.

Two ways to move an RV

Driveaway or towaway?

The right method depends on whether your RV drives itself and how far it is going. Here is the plain-English version.

Driveaway

A driver drives it there

For motorhomes that run and drive, a bonded driver gets in and drives your coach to the destination. It is usually the most affordable option for operable Class A, B, and C rigs.

  • Best for operable motorhomes
  • Adds highway miles to the odometer
  • Fastest door-to-door on long hauls
Towaway

It rides on or behind a truck

Travel trailers and fifth wheels are pulled by a properly rated truck. Non-running motorhomes ride on a specialized carrier. No miles are added, and it is the only option for anything that does not drive.

  • Required for trailers and non-op RVs
  • No miles or wear added
  • Needs a carrier rated for the weight and height
What drives the price

What RV transport actually costs depends on a few things.

Anyone who quotes a flat price sight-unseen is guessing. Real quotes come from these details, which is exactly what the form asks for.

Distance

Per-mile rates usually drop the farther you go, but total cost still rises with the miles between pickup and delivery.

Size and weight

Length, height, and weight decide which trucks and drivers can legally handle the load, and whether it needs a permit.

Drives or not

An operable motorhome can go driveaway. A non-runner or a trailer needs a towaway carrier, which changes the price.

Route and terrain

Mountain passes, wind corridors, and low-clearance routes add time and planning, especially for tall fifth wheels.

Season and timing

Spring delivery season out of the factories and the fall snowbird rush tighten capacity. Flexible dates cost less.

Access

Tight dealer lots, rural addresses, and slide-outs or ramps all affect how a carrier loads and secures the RV.

Popular RV shipping routes

Where RVs actually move.

Most of North America’s RVs are built in one corner of Indiana, so a huge share of transport starts there. Snowbird season moves the rest.

Estimates only. Driving miles are approximate (straight-line distance with a road adjustment), and the cost band is a rough guide that changes with the RV’s size and height, whether it drives, and the season. The only way to know for sure is a real quote.

Straight answers

RV transport questions

How much does it cost to move an RV?+
It depends on four things: the distance, the size and weight of the RV, whether it runs and drives, and the season. Per-mile rates usually drop on longer hauls, but the total still climbs with the miles. A drivable motorhome that can go driveaway is often cheaper than a trailer or a non-runner that must be hauled. That is why an honest number comes from your exact pickup, destination, and rig, not a flat rate. Tell us the details and we will get you real quotes.
Can I hire someone to move my RV?+
Yes, and that is exactly what we help with. You do not have to drive it yourself. We connect you with vetted, insured RV transporters who either drive your operable motorhome to the destination (driveaway) or haul your trailer or non-running rig on a properly rated truck (towaway). We are not a carrier ourselves; we line up trusted ones and the match costs you nothing.
How much does it cost to transport an RV long distance?+
Long hauls usually carry a lower per-mile rate but a higher total. A cross-country move for a large fifth wheel or diesel pusher costs more than a short regional hop for a small trailer, because size, weight, and route all factor in. Season matters too: spring delivery season out of the factories and the fall snowbird rush tighten capacity. Flexible dates save money.
What is the difference between driveaway and towaway?+
Driveaway means a bonded driver gets in and drives your operable motorhome to the destination, which is often the most affordable option for running Class A, B, and C rigs. Towaway means your travel trailer or fifth wheel is pulled, or a non-running motorhome is hauled, on a properly rated truck. Trailers and non-runners always go towaway.
Can you transport a non-running motorhome?+
Yes. A non-operable motorhome needs a towaway carrier with equipment matched to its size and weight. Just tell us it is non-op on the form and we connect you with a carrier set up to load and secure it.
Do RV transporters have to stop at weigh stations?+
Commercial carriers hauling RVs generally follow the same weigh-station rules as other trucks, and reputable transporters run legal and properly permitted. It is one more reason to use a vetted, insured carrier rather than an anonymous load board, so the move is done right and covered.
