Make Sure Everything is secure- This includes; cabinets, doors, windows, latches are all secured, taped, or tied down to prevent damage.
Remove all hazardous or flammable material- (propane tanks, gas tanks, oil tanks, ammunition, or any other potentially dangerous items)
Turn off any electronics-
Disconnect the gas-
Turn off the power supply to your RV
Check the pertinent parts to your RV- (breaks, spare tires, steering, etc because if something malfunctions the RV transporter’s insurance will not cover it and you may be charged extra if they have to stop and work on your RV during the shipping. Tell the RV transporter about any quirks or irregularities that can be found in your RV so that they are aware about them and can adjust the trip accordingly.
To make sure that you are not forgetting anything, you may want to hire someone to check your RV before it is shipped or if you have specific questions you should ask the driver. Or, at least, visit our car shipping checklist page.
