RV Shipping FAQ — Columbus
Common questions about shipping rvs in the Columbus area.
How much does it cost to ship an RV?
RV shipping costs typically range from $1,000 to $5,000+ depending on the RV type, size, distance, and transport method. Towable units on shorter routes start around $1,000-$2,000, while large Class A motorhomes on cross-country moves can cost $3,000-$5,000 or more. Drive-away service is often the most cost-effective option for drivable RVs.
How long does RV shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance and transport method. Regional moves (under 500 miles) typically take 3-5 days, mid-range routes average 5-8 days, and cross-country transport usually takes 8-14 days. Drive-away service may be faster since it doesn't require carrier scheduling.
Is my RV insured during shipping?
Yes, every RV shipment includes comprehensive cargo insurance. For drive-away service, our drivers carry full liability coverage. We recommend documenting your RV's condition with interior and exterior photos before pickup. Supplemental coverage is available for high-value units.
What types of RVs can you ship?
We transport all types of RVs including Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, and truck campers. Our carrier network includes specialists for every RV category and size.
Should I choose drive-away or tow-away service?
Drive-away is ideal for drivable motorhomes and is often more affordable for long distances. Tow-away is required for travel trailers and fifth wheels, and is also a good option if you prefer your motorhome not to accumulate road miles. We'll recommend the best option based on your RV type and route.
