Company to ship new motorhome - suggestions ?

Have new 25' Class C to get from Elkhart, Indiana to West Coast. Prefer not to have it driven. Any suggestions for a shipper - open carrier - low boy flatbed.

thanks
  • I agree with all. I flew to Arizona from CA and did a test drive and big inspection...talked to the people down at the dealership. Went home and decided upon it. Drove my trade-in to Arizona and then drove my new Born Free home. I highly recommend doing a personal inspection before signing, etc.
  • The reason they drive them for delivery is because most of them are too tall to put on a trailer and not have to get permits for. (not all, but most) The weather is breaking here and the road salt is gone now so just fly over here and drive it home yourself... It will be cheaper if you have the time.
  • call you ship .com they can handle anything. but if it was me .I,d go get it and do a walk thru with the company. in the world of rv,s new does not mean its write.

    Personally, I would not buy a used or new RV without a personal inspection.
    Just because it's new, does not mean it has no problems or flaws.
    I would take the time, make the trip and drive it back.

  • Go and take delivery of it at the factory (or wherever). It will give you a great break in trip and your new MH won't get abused!
