Delivery Cost Factors
The cost of hauling your camping van into or out of Dallas, TX, using A-1 A-T is estimated based on the following:
- Specifications of your RV
- Distance between where we pick up and drop off
- Shipping services you require
- Season of the year
- Cost of fuel at that time.
International Relocating
International shipping is done using a boat involving roll-on/roll-off loading. The van is loaded onto the ship and sent to the destination country. From the port, it is driven off the ship and delivered to the final location by truck.
Choosing Between Open and Enclosed Transport
When selecting a transport method, consider the level of protection your RV requires. Open transport is more cost-effective and widely available, making it suitable for standard RV models. However, your van will be exposed to weather and road conditions during transit. Enclosed transport offers added protection from the elements, ideal for high-value or vintage RVs, but comes at a higher cost. Assess your camping car's needs and budget to determine the best option
Different Delivery Methods
You can choose any of the following delivery methods.
- Flat Rack Shipping: This is an inexpensive method. It is placed on a flat rack placed on top of a ship.
- Container Shipping: This method is a bit expensive, as the RV would be shipped in a large container that protects it from extreme weather conditions and bad roads.
- Open-Air-Ground Method: The RV is shipped in a large flatbed trailer or a hauler. This method is also inexpensive.
- Enclosed Ground Transport Method: It shipped in a large hauling container pulled by a freight truck. This method protects the van from weather conditions and the road, but it is also a bit expensive.

Tips to Prepare Your Vehicle for Transport
To ensure your camping car is shipped safely to you, you need to do the following:
- Make sure your vehicle is in good shape. Carry out maintenance.
- Shut all doors and windows.
- All appliances must be disconnected.
- Check and have a pictorial document of any damages before pick up.
- Remove all valuables from your RV. We would not be held responsible for any missing item.
- Ensure all documents required, especially for international hauling, are on the ground.

Is my RV insured during transport?
