RV Towing Service

Why Action Towing is Edmonton's Premier RV Rescue

  • Heavy-Duty Wreckers for Class A & C:

    We utilize high-capacity heavy-duty wreckers equipped with specialized under-reach technology. This allows us to lift and secure your motorhome by the frame or axle, keeping our equipment far away from your fiberglass bodywork and delicate storage bay doors.

  • Specialized RV Hauling Service:

    Our RV hauling service utilizes low-boy and Landoll trailers, allowing us to winch your entire motorhome onto a flat deck. This eliminates all wear and tear on your drivetrain and tires, making it the “Gold Standard” for long-distance transport across Western Canada.

  • Drivetrain & Air Brake Expertise:

    Our operators are trained to safely disconnect driveshafts to protect your transmission and integrate with your RV's air brake system. We ensure that when our truck stops, your RV stops with it, providing a stable and controlled journey to the repair shop.

  • 24/7 Emergency Roadside for Campers:

    Whether you're stuck on the side of a highway at midnight or unable to leave your campsite in the morning, our RV towing service is available 24/7. We'll get to you fast, helping you manage the logistics of your breakdown so you can focus on your family's safety.

  • Western Canada & Northern Reach:

    We don't just stay in city limits. Action Towing provides long-distance RV transport across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and even into the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

What's Included in Our RV & Motorhome Services

We handle the heavy lifting so you can get back to your vacation.

  • Professional Axle & Driveshaft Prep:

    We ensure your transmission is fully protected by professionally prepping the drivetrain before any wheels turn.

  • On-Site Battery & Air System Support:

    From boosting a dead house battery to restoring air pressure for your brakes, we provide the “spark” you need.

  • Precision Winching & Extraction:

    If you've slid off a narrow campground road or into a soft shoulder, we'll pull you back to solid ground safely.

  • Direct Transport to RV Specialists:

    We coordinate with major Edmonton RV repair centers to ensure your rig is dropped off at a facility that can actually fix it.

  • Secure Passenger Assistance:

    We understand that an RV breakdown often involves a family. We help coordinate safe transport for you and your passengers while we handle the rig.

Motorhome & RV Towing Questions and Answers

Towing a motorhome is different from towing standard vehicles. Here are common questions RV owners ask before booking service.

No. Most standard tow trucks are only rated for light-to-medium duty vehicles. A Class A motorhome requires a heavy-duty wrecker with a high-capacity under-reach to handle the massive weight and long wheelbase. Using the wrong truck can lead to frame damage or accidents, which is why Action Towing uses only certified heavy-duty equipment for RVs.

Towing involves lifting the front wheels and pulling the RV behind a wrecker. RV hauling means the entire vehicle is placed on top of a specialized trailer (like a Landoll). Hauling is often preferred for long distances (like a move to BC or the Yukon) because it results in zero wear on the RV's tires and mechanical systems.

For most motorized RVs, we must disconnect the driveshaft or pull the axles before towing. This prevents the transmission from “spinning dry” while the engine is off. Our technicians are experts at this process and will ensure everything is reconnected properly or safely stored for your mechanic.

Yes. We focus on the chassis and mechanical transport. We recommend that you turn off your propane and ensure all loose items inside the “home” are secured before we move the unit, just as you would before a normal drive. Our smooth-ride heavy-duty suspensions help minimize interior vibration during the tow.

First, ensure your leveling jacks are up and your slide-outs are in (if possible). If you have no power to do this, let our dispatcher know! We can often provide a jump-start or manual assistance to get the rig “travel-ready” before we begin the recovery or tow.

The cost depends on the size of the RV and the distance of the tow. Heavy-duty towing has a higher base rate than standard car towing due to the specialized equipment and the time required to prep the drivetrain. We provide transparent, upfront quotes so you can manage your repair budget effectively.
