Motorhome towing for Steveston families and visitors
A motorhome is a house and a truck in one, and when the engine side quits, the whole trip stops. We get calls from Steveston families leaving for the long weekend and from visitors who drove in to see the harbour and Garry Point Park and can't get going again. The first question is always the size. A Class B camper van or a Class C on a cutaway chassis usually fits our heavy flatbed. A long Class A coach is lifted by the front and pulled by a heavy wrecker, the same truck we use for heavy duty towing.
Tell us the class, the length and the chassis if you know it. If you're towing a car behind the motorhome, unhook it first if it's safe, and we can bring it along with car towing. A trailer or a pop-up camper on its own is a job for our RV towing page instead.

Motorhome towing off Steveston Highway and No. 1 Road
Most motorhome breakdowns we see around Steveston happen on the way out of town. Steveston Highway runs east to the Steveston interchange on Highway 99, and a motorhome that overheats or loses power there has to come off the road before the line behind it grows. We park behind it with our lights on, check the clearance, hook up and take it to a safe spot or straight to the shop. On No. 1 Road, we often load in a side street rather than the main lanes.
Some motorhomes leaving Steveston are headed south for a ferry. BC Ferries counts any vehicle over 7 ft high or 20 ft long as oversized, and most motorhomes are both, so a breakdown on the way to the terminal can cost you a booked sailing. If that happens, call us early. We can take the motorhome back to a Richmond shop, or price a longer run as long distance towing.

How we tow a motorhome from Steveston safely
Big motorhomes have big drivetrains. When a Class A goes behind the wrecker with its back wheels on the road, we disconnect the driveshaft or lift the drive wheels so the transmission isn't hurt over the kilometres. Many larger coaches also run air brakes, and ICBC's guide to licensing for recreational vehicles explains that a regular Class 5 licence covers a motorhome only without them. That matters for you, and it also tells us the brakes need to be caged or released before the tow.
Before we leave, turn off the propane, close the slide-outs and the awning if you can, and take your valuables out of the cabinets. We secure the rig at the right points, not the bumper, and drive gently with it. Questions first? Send us a note with the class, the length and a photo, and we'll talk it through like a neighbour.
