Motorhomes and caravans represent freedom for many Kiwis — but when it’s time to move, relocate, or recover one, it takes more than a standard tow truck. These large, heavy vehicles require specialist handling, low-loading equipment, and careful preparation to ensure they arrive safely.
OTS Group provides professional Motorhome & Caravan Towing services across New Zealand, offering fully insured transport for RVs, campers, and caravans of all sizes.
1. Why Motorhomes & Caravans Need Specialised Towing
Motorhomes and caravans are larger, heavier, and less rigid than standard vehicles. This means towing requires careful attention to balance, turning radius, and load distribution. Improper towing can lead to sway, damage to bodywork, or instability on the road.
Our team uses hydraulic tilt trays, extended wheelbase trailers, and heavy-duty winches to ensure each tow is stable and secure from start to finish.
2. Types of Motorhomes & Caravans We Transport
We regularly move:
- Class A and Class B motorhomes
- Towable caravans and camper trailers
- Converted buses and mobile homes
- Rental or fleet RVs
Each transport is tailored to the size, structure, and condition of your vehicle to ensure safe travel nationwide.
3. How to Prepare for Motorhome or Caravan Towing
Before pickup, take a few steps to make sure your RV or caravan is transport-ready:
- Secure all loose interior items and appliances.
- Drain water and waste tanks to reduce weight.
- Turn off LPG or gas bottles and disconnect electrical lines.
- Lock doors, windows, and roof vents.
- Check that tyres are inflated and the handbrake is released (for caravans).
These steps prevent internal movement and reduce risk of damage during transport.
4. Long-Distance & Inter-Island Caravan Transport
OTS Group offers intercity vehicle transport and long-distance towing services, including ferry coordination for inter-island moves. Whether you’re moving between Auckland and Christchurch or heading to a new holiday spot, we handle the logistics from start to finish.
