RV transport in Alaska

Shipping an RV to or from Alaska

Alaska is the most specialized RV move in the country. There is no interstate connecting it to the Lower 48, so a rig gets there one of two ways: the long drive up the Alaska Highway through Canada, or by barge from the Pacific Northwest to a port like Anchorage.

We are RVBrokers. We are not a carrier, but we connect you with transporters and haulers who actually run Alaska, so a move this complicated is handled by people who have done it before.

Mileage estimator

Roughly how far is your move?

—Driving miles (est.)
—Transit (est.)
—Ballpark cost

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.

Shipping in or out of Alaska

What to plan around here.

Highway vs barge

The two real options are the multi-day drive up the Alaska Highway or a barge from a Northwest port. Which one fits depends on timing, budget, and the rig.

Border crossing

The overland route passes through Canada, so paperwork and border rules come into play. Experienced Alaska carriers know the drill.

Short season

The practical window is late spring through early fall. Winter moves are far harder, so timing matters more here than anywhere.

Straight answers

RV transport questions

Can you really ship an RV to Alaska?+
Yes, but it is a specialized move. It goes overland up the Alaska Highway through Canada or by barge from a Northwest port. We connect you with carriers who run Alaska so it is handled correctly.
When is the best time to move an RV to Alaska?+
Late spring through early fall. The overland route and the barges both run best in the warmer months, so plan ahead and keep your dates flexible.
What is the difference between driveaway and towaway?+
Driveaway means a bonded driver drives your operable motorhome to the destination. Towaway means your trailer is pulled, or a non-running motorhome is hauled, on a properly rated truck. Trailers and non-runners always go towaway.
