4 Pro Tips for Transporting a Conversion Van

Transporting a conversion van can be daunting, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the process. Whether you’re moving to a new city or purchasing a camper van from across state lines, these four pro tips for transporting a conversion van will ensure your vehicle arrives safely.

Plan Ahead

Don’t leave arranging your conversion van shipment until the last minute. As soon as you know your conversion van will need to be shipped, begin looking for a reliable transporter. Planning in advance will help you avoid any difficulty arranging the shipment with transporters and allow you to budget accordingly for associated shipping costs.

Choose a Reliable Transporter

Selecting the right transporter is crucial for a successful relocation. Consider the transporter’s experience, reputation, insurance coverage, and equipment. If you’re looking for a reliable transporter, consider One Call Logistics. As a reputable national transport company , we will ensure your conversion van makes it from point A to point B safely and on time.

Prepare Your Van for Transport

If you are able, inspect your conversion van thoroughly before it is transported. Document the condition of the van with photos or videos. Remove any loose items or accessories inside the conversion van to prevent them from shifting during transportation. Secure larger items, such as furniture, appliances, and equipment, to prevent damage and ensure they stay in place during transit. Keep only one-quarter of your gas tank full; this will be enough fuel to get your van on and off the transporter without posing a fire risk.

Save Money by Shipping During the Off-Season

If you want to save money on your conversion van shipment, don’t try to cut corners by ignoring reviews and choosing the cheapest transporter possible. Instead, consider shipping your van during the off-season, such as late fall or winter. You can also ship your van on an open carrier instead of an enclosed carrier to save money while ensuring safe delivery.

By following these four pro tips for transporting a conversion van, you can ensure your vehicle safely arrives at its new location. For more information on transporting your conversion van, contact our team at One Call Logistics.
