Nationwide RV shipping for Class A, B, and C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and toy haulers. Drive-away and tow-away service in all 50 states.
RV transport is a specialized shipping service for recreational vehicles — Class A motorhomes, Class B camper vans, Class C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, pop-up campers, and toy haulers. Unlike standard auto transport where vehicles ride on a multi-vehicle carrier, RVs are too large, too tall, and (in the case of trailers) not self-powered, so they require entirely different transport methods. Razorback Auto Transport coordinates RV transport in all 50 states using two primary approaches: drive-away service for self-propelled motorhomes and tow-away service for travel trailers and fifth wheels.
Whether you're moving a recently purchased motorhome from a dealer in another state, repositioning an RV between seasonal locations, transporting a fifth wheel to a winter destination, or relocating after a sale, our RV shipping service handles the entire move with experienced RV-specific drivers and appropriate insurance coverage.
For self-propelled motorhomes (Class A, B, and C), drive-away service is typically the most cost-effective option. A licensed professional driver picks up the motorhome at the origin location and drives it directly to the destination — much like delivering a new vehicle from manufacturer to dealer. Drive-away service adds miles to the vehicle but eliminates the need for specialized trailer equipment. It's the standard method for moving Class A motorhomes between dealers, between owner residences, and to long-term storage facilities.
For travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers (any non-self-propelled RV), tow-away service is the standard approach. A pickup truck or specialized tow vehicle hitches the trailer and tows it to the destination — again, no miles added since the trailer itself doesn't have an odometer that increments. Tow-away service requires the trailer to be in road-worthy condition: tires inflated, brakes functional, lights operational, and hitch couplers in good condition.
For non-running motorhomes, RVs requiring restoration, or vehicles where drive-away service isn't possible, flatbed transport on a specialized RV hauler is available. This is more expensive than drive-away but works for RVs that can't be driven or towed normally.
The RV shipping process adapts to which method fits your specific vehicle:
RV shipping pricing varies more than any other vehicle category because of the enormous size range. Approximate RV transport costs:
Coast-to-coast RV transport runs roughly 60–80% above 1,000-mile pricing. Flatbed transport adds significant cost over drive-away. Razorback provides exact pricing after reviewing your specific RV's dimensions and condition.
Why RV transport quotes vary so much: A 22-foot Class B van and a 45-foot Class A diesel pusher are both "motorhomes" but require completely different drivers, fuel, route planning, and insurance. The size range in RVs is wider than in any other vehicle category, which is why one-size-fits-all pricing doesn't work and individual quotes are essential.

Common questions about rv transport
RV transport pricing depends heavily on RV class and size. A Class C motorhome moving 1,000 miles costs $1,800–$2,800 via drive-away. A Class A diesel pusher runs $2,200–$3,800 for the same distance. Travel trailers tow-away at $1,400–$2,400. Fifth wheels at $2,000–$3,200. Coast-to-coast RV shipping runs 60–80% higher than 1,000-mile pricing.
Drive-away service uses a professional driver to drive your motorhome (Class A, B, or C) directly to the destination — adding miles to the odometer but eliminating trailer requirements. Tow-away service hitches your travel trailer or fifth wheel behind a tow vehicle for transport — no miles added since trailers don't track miles. Drive-away is for self-propelled RVs; tow-away is for everything else.
Yes, but it requires flatbed transport rather than drive-away, which is more expensive. Non-running RVs are loaded onto specialized flatbed haulers and transported as fixed cargo. Mention "inoperable" or "non-running" when booking so we dispatch appropriate equipment. There's typically a significant premium over drive-away service.
Razorback's RV transport service includes liability coverage on the driver and the vehicle during transit. For drive-away service, your existing RV insurance generally continues to cover the vehicle as well. For high-value motorhomes ($150,000+), we recommend confirming coverage details in writing before pickup and considering supplemental policies if appropriate.
Limited items are usually acceptable, with significant caveats. Secure all interior items so nothing shifts during transit. Empty refrigerators completely. Don't leave anything valuable or irreplaceable. For drive-away service, items inside the RV are not covered by cargo insurance. Empty water tanks completely before pickup.
