Preparing Your Class B Motorhomes and RVs for Transport

Apart from choosing a reputable, licensed, and insured RV transporter, you also need to ensure your motorhome or RV is prepared for transport. Here is a checklist on how you can prepare your Class B motorhome for a safer and seamless journey.

Heavy Haulers provides:

• • Discard Gas Bottles/Containers – Ensure you discard gas bottles responsibly, even if they are empty. Don't make the mistake of leaving them inside your motorhome, as it can be a hazard.


• • Don't fill the tank fuel– Make sure your RV has ¼ tank of gas or less. Adding excess fuel can cause weight limit issues at weigh stations.


• • Keep it Clean – Make sure the toilet and other areas are clean, because if customs decide to do an RV check, they may make you pay unwanted cleaning fees.


• • Close Windows – Close and secure all windows using catches and latches. Fix any insecure windows and fox the skylights.
