The factors that determine RV transport prices will be discussed below.
Distance
In determining the price of transporting an RV, distance is a major factor. RV transporters try to factor an hourly wage into their calculations for longer drives and more time in moving your RV.
Location
Transport may be more expensive if you live off the main roads, such as on a dirt path or someplace else difficult to reach by the RV itself.
RV size
Just like an RV, the bigger they are, the more cumbersome the drive can be. In some states and highways, the RV size and length also determines which highways and roads you are allowed to take. Another factor here is that RVs weigh a lot. When the transport truck is travelling with a larger RV, more gas will be consumed.
Gas prices
You and the driver cannot control gas prices, which are a major factor. An RV adds to the amount of gas used by a transport truck. Without extensive planning, knowing the cost of gas in California and Oregon can be quite different if you have traveled across states frequently.
Insurance
Insurance costs must be included in the quote provided by the transport company. To cover your own needs, you might want to purchase more insurance. If you have an RV with some amenities, make sure that the insurance terms cover RV repairs when considering a transport.
Urgency
When do you need your RV transported? Can the transporter accommodate my needs? To get to you quicker, a transporter may shift around other clients for more money.
Condition of RV
A heavy-duty truck can tow an RV or trailer with working wheels or a transmission. Your vehicle may require a flat bed if it has difficulty moving.
