Alaska RV Shipping Company, AK

Professional RV Movers in Alaska

Moving an RV to or from Alaska is no small task — especially when you consider the long distances, rugged terrain, and the complexities of crossing borders and ocean routes. Whether you’re relocating permanently, planning an extended road trip, or purchasing or selling an RV across state lines, A-1 Auto Transport makes RV shipping in Alaska simple, safe, and stress-free.

We specialize in transporting all types of RVs throughout the United States and offer reliable routes in and out of Alaska, including service to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and beyond. With decades of experience and specialized carriers built for large vehicles, we’re ready to get your RV where it needs to go.

Who Usually Needs to Move Recreational Vehicles

Alaska’s natural beauty and open roads make it a dream destination for RV owners. But the reality of moving such a large vehicle across long distances — especially through Canada or by ship — can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

Here are common situations where professional RV shipping is the smart choice:

• Relocating to or from Alaska permanently and wanting to bring your RV with you without the stress of driving thousands of miles.
• Seasonal travelers or snowbirds heading south for the winter and returning to Alaska in the warmer months.
• RV buyers and sellers needing transport between Alaska and the continental U.S.
• Military families or contractors stationed in Alaska with a motorhome or camper they need transported.
• Adventurers or outdoor businesses who want to explore Alaska’s parks and backcountry roads without the logistics of a long haul.

Driving your RV the entire way may seem like an adventure — but it can also mean wear and tear, higher fuel costs, unexpected repairs, and weather-related risks. Let us handle the transport so you can enjoy your destination without the road fatigue.

Types of RVs We Ship

At A-1 Auto Transport, we understand that RVs come in many shapes and sizes — and each requires the right method of transport. That’s why we’ve equipped our fleet and trained our team to safely move every type of RV, including:

• Class A Motorhomes:
  These full-sized RVs are the largest and most luxurious on the road. Because of their size, they require flatbed or lowboy trailers for safe, long-distance shipping. We manage all permits and logistics involved in transporting Class A units into or out of Alaska.
• Class B Motorhomes (Camper Vans):
  Compact and efficient, Class B motorhomes can often be shipped using open or enclosed auto transport trailers. These are more manageable in size and a good option for RVers who prefer flexibility.
• Class C Motorhomes:
  Mid-sized RVs like Class Cs combine parts of Class A and B styles. We transport them using the right carriers to accommodate the overhead sleeping space and extended length.
• Fifth-Wheel Trailers:
  These towable RVs are large, often luxury-equipped, and require special hitches. We use heavy-duty equipment to move fifth-wheel trailers safely and securely to or from Alaska.
• Travel Trailers:
  From compact teardrop trailers to long, multi-room models, travel trailers are a popular choice for seasonal travelers. We handle every variety and ensure they are securely attached and balanced for the long haul.
• Pop-Up Campers & Toy Haulers:
  We also ship smaller and specialty RV types, including pop-up campers, fold-downs, and toy haulers designed to carry bikes, ATVs, or other equipment.
• Truck Campers:
  Mounted on pickup trucks, these units are often used for off-grid travel and backcountry exploration. If needed, we can ship both the camper and the truck together or as separate units.

Whether you own a modest trailer or a luxury Class A motorcoach, we have the tools and experience to move it across state lines, across borders, or by ship to Alaska.

How We Help Ship RVs

RV shipping to or from Alaska typically involves one of two options: overland transport through Canada or ocean transport by ship. The best choice depends on your timeline, the type of RV, and your location.

Overland Transport (via Canada)

For RVs located in or headed to Alaska’s road-accessible cities like Anchorage or Fairbanks, overland transport is often the preferred method. This involves trucking your RV through Canada and up the Alaska Highway. A-1 Auto Transport handles all the paperwork, including customs clearance and route planning.

This option is ideal if:

• You’re located near the West Coast (e.g., Washington, Oregon, or California)
• Your RV is road-legal and in good condition
• You're not under extreme time constraints

Ocean Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off or Container)

For certain locations — like Juneau or Sitka — or in cases where overland travel isn’t possible, we offer ocean shipping via Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) vessels or in shipping containers for smaller RVs. This service typically departs from ports in Seattle or Tacoma, and we coordinate everything from inland pickup to final delivery.

This method works best for:

• Non-drivable RVs or trailers
• Larger units requiring special handling
• Customers shipping from or to areas without road access

We’ll help you choose the best route based on your RV’s type, condition, and your preferences.

Different Coach Transferring Methods

• Roll-On/Roll-Off – This is a standard mode of transport for RV shipments to foreign countries. A flatbed boat is used to transport the RV. There are, however, height and weight restrictions.
• Flat Rack Shipping – Using this approach, campers, and other heavy vehicles are loaded onto a flat rack and secured atop a dispatch.
• Lift-On/Lift-Off – A crane raises your coach and positions it on top of the freight before being transported.
• Container Delivery – Only if your motorhome fits into a large delivery container is this a viable option for transportation. It provides better weather protection for your motorhome when it's delivered to a foreign country.
