New Zealand’s love of travel means thousands of motorhomes and caravans are on the road every year — but when it comes time to move, relocate, or recover them, specialised towing is essential. Whether you’ve broken down on a trip or purchased a camper from another region, choosing the right towing company ensures safe and compliant transport.
OTS Group provides professional Motorhome & Caravan Towing across both islands, using purpose-built trucks and experienced operators to move vehicles of all sizes with complete care and insurance protection.
1. Why Motorhomes and Caravans Need Specialist Transport
Motorhomes and caravans are large, heavy, and often built with fragile fittings that can shift during towing. They require low-angle loading ramps, extended wheelbase trays, and correct weight distribution to prevent structural damage.
Our operators use hydraulic tilt-tray trucks and custom tow dollies designed specifically for oversized vehicles, ensuring a stable and balanced tow even on long-distance routes.
2. Common Reasons for Motorhome or Caravan Towing
- Breakdowns or mechanical failures while travelling.
- Relocation between storage facilities or dealerships.
- Purchases from another region requiring delivery.
- Transport to or from service and maintenance workshops.
- Accident recovery or insurance claims.
We operate 24/7 from Auckland and Christchurch, covering all major highways and regional areas nationwide.
3. How the Transport Process Works
Every OTS Group motorhome or caravan transport job follows a safe, proven process:
- Assessment — Our team reviews size, weight, and access requirements.
- Pickup Preparation — Loose items are secured, and safety checks are performed before loading.
- Loading — The vehicle is carefully aligned on the tray using low-angle ramps and multi-point securing systems.
- Transit — The tow truck driver maintains consistent speeds to reduce vibration and wind stress.
- Delivery — The vehicle is inspected again upon unloading to confirm condition.
4. Preparing Your Motorhome or Caravan Before Pickup
To ensure a smooth transport process, we recommend:
- Emptying water and waste tanks to reduce weight.
- Securing or removing internal items like drawers, plates, and appliances.
- Locking doors, windows, and roof hatches.
- Turning off gas bottles and disconnecting electrical lines.
- Ensuring tyres are inflated and handbrakes are released (for caravans).
