When Is the Best Time of Year To Move Your RV?

Recreational vehicles, or RVs, are meant for mobility, which means different things to different people. Some love to stay in motion, stopping for no more than a few weeks. Others prefer to stay in one spot. No matter how often you move or how long you want to stay, you should be aware of some recommendations for moving your RV. This is especially important if it’s a travel trailer that you can’t drive. We’ll explain the best time of year to move your RV or travel trailer and the benefits of doing this.

Moving Your RV

The main difference between an RV and a travel trailer is that RVs have motors. You can drive an RV from one location to another without towing it. This convenience allows people to move their RVs frequently; others may prefer to stay in one area for a while.

No matter how much you love your RV location, you should move it every three months to prevent flat spots or cracks from forming in the tires.

Moving Your Travel Trailer

If you own a travel trailer, then you probably don’t move around as much as someone with a true RV. Towing causes a lot of strain on personal vehicles. While traveling with your trailer is nice, you’ll want to protect your vehicle. Still, you should move your travel trailer every three to six months. This protects its tires, just as it does for RVs.

Benefits of Moving

Many people wonder if there’s any benefit to moving their RV or travel trailer other than protecting the tires. Like all automotive vehicles, RVs and travel trailers need regular maintenance on more than just their tires. Moving your RV or travel trailer allows you to visit a mechanic to perform this maintenance, such as oil changes.

If you hired a professional transport service for your RV or travel trailer, you might be unable to stop at a mechanic during transit. However, your tires will get a break, and you won’t have to worry about the transportation logistics. The professional will deliver your vehicle to the desired location so you can enjoy new views stress-free.

The best time of year to move your RV or travel trailer is within three months of your last move. It can happen at any time during the year, although many people try to move during warmer months because of the nice weather. If you need travel trailer transport at any point during the year, contact One Call Logistics. We will make your move easy and do so in a timely manner.

Shipping motorsports vehicles, such as motorcycles, ATVs, or jet skis, requires careful planning and consideration due to their size, weight, and sometimes delicate nature. Here are some general steps to consider when shipping motorsports vehicles: 


  • Choose a shipping method: Decide whether you want to use a specialized vehicle transport service, a freight carrier, or another method. The choice may depend on factors such as cost, convenience, and the level of service required. 

  • Prepare the vehicle: Before shipping, ensure that the motorsports vehicle is properly prepared. This includes cleaning it thoroughly, removing any personal belongings or loose items, and securing any removable parts to prevent damage during transit.

  • Check for regulations and requirements: Research any regulations or requirements related to shipping motorsports vehicles, both domestically and internationally. This may include paperwork, permits, or specific packaging instructions.

  • Choose appropriate packaging: If necessary, package the vehicle securely to prevent damage during transit. This might involve using specialized crates, pallets, or protective coverings.

  • Arrange pickup and delivery: Coordinate with the shipping company to schedule pickup of the vehicle from your location and delivery to the desired destination. Make sure to provide clear instructions and contact information for both pickup and delivery.


  • Insure the shipment: Consider purchasing insurance for the shipment to protect against loss or damage during transit. Most shipping companies offer insurance options, but you may also choose to use a third-party insurer.

  • Track the shipment: Utilize any tracking services provided by the shipping company to monitor the progress of the shipment and ensure it arrives at its destination on time.

  • Receive and inspect the vehicle: When the vehicle arrives at its destination, inspect it carefully for any signs of damage or discrepancies. Note any issues on the delivery receipt and contact the shipping company immediately if necessary.

  • By following these steps and taking appropriate precautions, you can ensure a smooth and secure shipping process for your motorsports vehicles.
