RV Transport Preparation

Transporting an RV requires careful planning and preparation to ensure that it arrives at its destination safely and securely. Here are some steps you can take to prepare your RV for transportation:

1. Clean and Secure the RV: Before transporting your RV, give it a thorough cleaning inside and out. Remove all loose items, including personal belongings, from inside the RV and secure all cabinets, doors, and windows. This will help prevent damage during transport and keep your items from shifting during transit.
2. Check the Tires and Brakes: Make sure that the RV’s tires are properly inflated and in good condition. Check the brakes to ensure they are functioning properly. If you have any concerns about the condition of your RV’s tires or brakes, have a professional mechanic inspect them before transporting your RV.
3. Disconnect Utilities: Disconnect all utilities, including water, electricity, and gas, from your RV. This will prevent damage to your RV’s systems during transport.
4. Secure the Exterior: Close all awnings and retractable items, and secure any loose parts or equipment, such as satellite dishes or bike racks.
5. Notify the Transportation Company: Provide the transportation company with the RV’s exact dimensions, weight, and any special handling instructions, such as if the RV has slide-outs or other features that require special attention.
6. Confirm Insurance: Verify that the transportation company has the necessary insurance coverage to transport your RV.
7. Remove Batteries: If you are transporting a trailer or fifth wheel, remove the battery to prevent damage from bouncing or jostling during transport.
8. Check Local Regulations: Check local regulations regarding the transport of oversized vehicles, and make sure you have any necessary permits or escorts.
