How We Tow Your Home on Wheels

RVs on the Hook

RVs are more than just vehicles—they’re our getaways, our adventures, and for some, even home. That’s why when something goes wrong, it’s not just a flat tire or an engine hiccup—it’s a disruption to your whole trip. Our tow truck operators have seen firsthand how stressful it can be to watch your motorhome get hauled away. That’s why we want to walk through how our Fremont RV towing service really works, what makes it different, and how we handle it with the care it deserves.

Big Size, Bigger Challenges

Towing an RV isn’t the same as pulling a car or pickup. These vehicles are longer, heavier, and sometimes loaded with everything from water tanks to furniture. Add in wide mirrors, rooftop air units, or slide-outs, and you’ve got a job that calls for planning—not improvising.

We start by identifying the type of RV. Is it a travel trailer? A fifth wheel? A Class A motorhome? Each one has its quirks. Some can be flat-towed. Others need a flatbed or a wheel-lift tow truck. And if there’s any question about damage risk, we always lean toward the safest choice.

Hook-Up Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Every RV has its own way of hitching up, and we know how critical it is to get it right. For example, motorhomes often need their drive shafts disconnected before towing. This protects the transmission from damage during transport. With trailers, the key is making sure the hitch system is matched to the tow truck’s setup and is properly secured with safety chains and brake hookups.

We also double-check things like:

  • Clearance height (low bridges can be an issue)
  • Tire pressure before loading
  • Weight distribution
  • Securing slide-outs or awnings

You’d be surprised how many tows we’ve seen go wrong because someone forgot to retract a slide or stow a satellite dish.

Not Every Road Is Paved

Sometimes we find ourselves retrieving RVs from campgrounds, gravel roads, or even lakeside parks. Fremont RV towing jobs often take us well off the beaten path. That’s where experience matters most. Maneuvering a heavy-duty wrecker around narrow trails or muddy shoulders is something we’ve done countless times—but never take lightly.

There’s also the matter of timing. RVs are often towed during holidays or weekends, and the last thing anyone wants is to spend their vacation dealing with logistics. So we move fast, but we never cut corners. That’s a promise we stand by.

What to Expect from a Tow

If your RV ever needs a lift, here’s what typically happens:

  • You call us with details on your location and vehicle
  • We determine the best truck and tow method for your rig
  • We arrive, inspect, and prepare the vehicle for transport
  • We tow it to your chosen destination, updating you along the way

It’s not glamorous, but it’s a system we’ve perfected over the years. And it makes Fremont RV towing a whole lot smoother than people expect.
