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

Fluctuating fuel prices directly impact transport costs.
Seasonal Demand
Higher costs in peak travel seasons (spring and summer) due to increased demand.

More convenient but often costs more than terminal-to-terminal transport.

Delivering to remote areas may add to the cost due to longer detours.

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.
