Transporting Your Motor Home or RV

There are rare situations when you have to transport your Motor Home or RV, for example

when you are moving out to a different location, if you’re selling it to someone or if you’re

sending it to be repaired. A vital point to transporting your Motor Home safely and at the same

time without spending too much money is to find the best method of doing so and choosing the

best drivers for it. Also being prepared is a key point in moving your Motor Home or RV.

You have more than one choice when it comes to Motor Home or RV transportation. The

cheapest and probably most used method is driving it. You can drive it yourself, ask some

friend to drive for you, or hire a professional company to drive your Motor Home or RV to its

destination on-time and without any damage. Hiring a professional motor home logistics

company can be more expensive but it has the advantage that most companies come with an

insurance policy which would cover any damages happening during the transportation.

If though your Motor Home or RV is un-operable you can arrange a car to tow it and transport

it safely to its destination. The costs differ according to the time limit and the distance until the

destination point. You could also hire a caravan to do the job.

Choosing a proper transportation company can be hard. You should ask around people who had

their Motor Home or RV moved before, you can also ask the companies for quotes and reviews

of their services. Don’t jump in and hire the first company which looks reliable. You should have

more than one choices available and choose only the best one of them since there are many

companies out there which may not be reliable and charge for more than the required payment.

Another vital point in transporting your Motor Home or RV to its destination is preparing it

before the actual transportation. You should know that the insurance policies don’t work for

improper preparations made by the owner before the transportation taking place. In order not

to let that happen you have to make sure everything is in place and ready to go.

Before pulling out, you want to make sure you removed all personal items or other items which

might get damaged since the Motor Home or RV during transportation will move quite a bit.

You want to also turn off all electronic items, disconnecting the gas and electrical power supply.

Check that all doors, windows and cupboards are closed and locked. You can tape the doors in

case they don’t lock properly. Before transportation, clean the Motor Home or RV. Check all the

Motor Homes’ equipment such as the tires, engine, brakes, et cetera.

It doesn’t matter how prepared you are since accidents can happen. That’s why you have to

make sure the insurance covers all types of accidents.

As stated above, getting your Motor Home or RV can be a bother but you can prevent accidents

by being well prepared and knowing what types of accidents your insurance covers.
