WHEN THE RV VACATION ENDS ON THE SHOULDER

Big motorhomes need big equipment. Our Peterbilt heavy rotator and medium-duty wreckers handle Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers.

RV work is usually a fleet-manager or park-owner call, but we also handle roadside emergencies for families stranded on I-10. Call us and we’ll get the right truck to you.

Full-length indoor storage available at our facility for short- and long-term needs.

CLASS A DIESEL PUSHER & LARGE MOTORHOME TOWING

A 40-foot Class A diesel pusher can weigh 30,000 to 50,000 lbs fully loaded with fuel, water, and gear — far too tall, too long, and too heavy for the light-duty wreckers most towing companies send out. When a pusher loses its air system, drops a transmission, or shears an axle on I-10 or US-59, it has to be lifted and towed on equipment rated for the weight. Our 35-ton heavy wrecker and 50- and 75-ton rotators handle big coaches without dragging the rear cap, scraping the basement bays, or stressing the chassis. We tow gas and diesel Class A motorhomes across greater Houston and the Gulf Coast, and we’ve been doing heavy recovery since 2001.

TRAVEL TRAILER & FIFTH-WHEEL RECOVERY

Travel trailers and fifth-wheels go down for blown bearings, seized brakes, bent or broken axles, and tow-vehicle failures — often miles from the nearest RV shop. We recover bumper-pull travel trailers and fifth-wheels whether the tow vehicle is still attached or has already been taken away, and we secure the rig for transport so nothing shifts on the way to a repair shop or your home. For a fifth-wheel with a damaged kingpin or a trailer that can no longer roll on its own axles, we load it on the right equipment instead of forcing it down the highway on a bad wheel.

TOY HAULER TOWING

Toy haulers carry the trailer plus everything inside it — side-by-sides, motorcycles, a generator, fuel, and a fully built garage — so the loaded weight runs well past a standard travel trailer. That extra mass is exactly why a toy hauler that breaks down needs heavy-rated equipment and an operator who accounts for the load when rigging the lift. We tow loaded and empty toy haulers across the Houston area and keep the cargo secured through the move so your gear arrives the way it left.

CAMPGROUND & RV PARK BREAKDOWNS

Not every RV problem happens on the interstate. Coaches refuse to start, drop a leveling jack into the mud, or won’t move after a long stay parked at an RV park or campground around Houston, Lake Houston, and the Gulf Coast. We come into tight campground loops and gravel sites, work around hookups, awnings, and neighboring rigs, and get the motorhome or trailer out without tearing up the site. When a coach is stuck off the pad or sunk in soft ground, our winch-out gear pulls it free before we load it.

HIGHWAY & ROADSIDE RV EMERGENCIES

A motorhome stopped in a live lane on I-10, US-59 / I-69, I-45, or Beltway 8 is a hazard to the family inside it and to everyone behind it. A real dispatcher — not a call center — answers 24/7/365, gets your location and the size of your rig, and rolls the right truck. Typical response is about 15 minutes in Crosby and roughly 20 to 40 minutes across greater Houston depending on where you are and traffic, and we give you a straight ETA on the call. We clear the rig off the roadway and get you and your coach to a safe place.

LONG-HAUL & LONG-DISTANCE RV TRANSPORT

Sometimes the job isn’t a breakdown — it’s moving a motorhome or trailer a long way. We transport RVs from dealers, auctions, estates, and private sellers to and from the Houston area, whether the coach runs or not. Non-running and project RVs that can’t be driven get loaded and hauled on heavy-rated equipment rather than risking a long tow on a tired drivetrain. Give us the pickup and drop-off and we’ll quote the haul up front.

WINCH-OUT & OFF-PAVEMENT RV RECOVERY

Big rigs drift off the shoulder, sink into soft ground at a site, or end up nose-down in a ditch after a wet Houston night. Recovering a heavy coach off-pavement is about the right anchor points, cable angles, and lift plan — not brute force that bends a frame or cracks fiberglass. We winch out motorhomes, fifth-wheels, and travel trailers with gear sized for the weight, then load and secure the rig for the trip to a shop or storage.

FULL-LENGTH INDOOR RV STORAGE

When the repair shop can’t take your coach right away, or you just need a secure place to park it, we have full-length indoor storage at our 4-acre Crosby facility at 4338 Harvey Rd. A recovered RV can roll straight from the truck into covered, secured storage instead of sitting exposed in a lot — short-term while it waits on parts, or long-term between seasons. The same gated facility runs our enclosed shop and overhead crane, so your rig stays behind the fence the whole time.

RV TOWING ACROSS GREATER HOUSTON

We dispatch 24/7/365 from our Crosby facility and tow RVs across the metro — I-10 through the Baytown and Katy stretches, US-59 / I-69, I-45, I-610, Beltway 8, and out to the lakes and campgrounds along the Gulf Coast. Whether it’s a roadside emergency with a family on board or a scheduled fleet or dealer move, a real dispatcher takes the call and we send equipment rated for the size of your coach — up to our 50-ton heavy wrecker for the largest diesel pushers.
