Power Only RV Transport in Alaska
Heavy Haulers offers power only RV transport services throughout Alaska. A licensed and insured driver will hitch your trailer to their truck and haul it anywhere in Alaska.

If your RV needs power only for Alaska delivery, we've got you covered. Heavy Haulers is licensed, bonded, and insured for all Alaska RV transport services, including power only.

1. Distance and Route
Per-Mile Rates
Longer trips often have lower per-mile rates, but the total cost is higher.
Remote vs. Urban Routes
Transporting through rural areas may cost more due to limited carriers servicing those locations.
Tolls and Road Fees
Some routes may have additional toll costs, particularly near major highways.
2. Type and Size of the RV

Typically the most expensive to transport due to weight and size.
Class B & C Motorhomes (smaller)
More affordable to transport.
Fifth-Wheel Trailers & Travel Trailers
Costs vary based on length, weight, and whether they require specialized handling.
Oversized RVs
If an RV exceeds standard dimensions, special permits and escorts may be needed.

A driver physically moves the RV to the destination. Generally cheaper but adds wear and tear.

Secure but more expensive, ideal for non-operational or luxury RVs.

The RV is towed using a truck, a common method for travel trailers.
4. Fuel Prices and Market Demand
Fuel Costs
Fluctuating fuel prices directly impact transport costs.
Seasonal Demand
Higher costs in peak travel seasons (spring and summer) due to increased demand.
5. Pickup and Delivery Location
Door-to-Door Service
More convenient but often costs more than terminal-to-terminal transport.
Rural or Difficult-to-Access Locations
Delivering to remote areas may add to the cost due to longer detours.
6. Permits and Regulations
Oversized Load Permits
Required if the RV exceeds height, width, or length restrictions.
State and Local Regulations
Certain areas have special transport requirements that may add to the cost.
7. Additional Services
Expedited Shipping
Faster delivery comes at a premium.
Storage Fees
If the RV cannot be delivered immediately, storage costs may apply.
Insurance Coverage
Higher coverage options increase transport costs but provide peace of mind.
