RV and Motorhome Towing in Pueblo, CO
An RV breakdown is a bigger problem than a car breakdown, literally. The rig is longer, heavier, and full of your trip. Pueblo sits right on the routes RVers use most: I-25 running north and south, US 50 heading west to Canon City and the mountains, and Lake Pueblo State Park pulling in campers all summer. When a motorhome, travel trailer, or fifth wheel quits around here, call and describe the rig. The right size truck gets sent, and the price is confirmed on the phone before anything moves.
Have the rig's length and type ready. It decides which truck comes.
What we move
- Class A and Class C motorhomes, towed with a heavy truck rigged for the weight and length.
- Class B camper vans and smaller motorhomes, which often ride on a flatbed like a large vehicle.
- Travel trailers and fifth wheels, either hitched and towed on their own wheels when they are sound, or hauled when a tire, axle, or bearing failure makes rolling unsafe.
- The tow vehicle itself. When the pickup pulling the camper breaks down, the truck and the trailer both need a plan, and sometimes two moves.
When RVers call around Pueblo
- Engine and transmission trouble on I-25, often in summer heat on the grades south of town or heading north toward Colorado Springs.
- Blown trailer tires on US 50. Trailer tires fail from heat, age, and underinflation, and a shredded tire can damage the wheel well and brake wiring. If the spare is good and the hub is sound it can be a tire change; if the axle or bearing is hurt, the trailer gets hauled.
- Breakdowns near Lake Pueblo. Rigs quit at campgrounds, boat ramps, and on the roads around the reservoir, sometimes in spots where the driver needs room to work. Tell us exactly where the rig sits.
- Dead starting batteries and no starts after the rig sat in storage. Storage lots and side yards in Pueblo West are full of campers that get used a few times a year.
- Moving a rig that is not traveling. A camper going to a repair shop, a new purchase coming home, or a motorhome being moved to storage or sold.
How an RV tow works
- You call and describe the rig: type, length, approximate weight, and what went wrong.
- The right truck is dispatched with the equipment the size calls for. Drivelines are disconnected where the drivetrain requires it, air and brake connections are handled for larger motorhomes, and the rig is lifted or loaded the way its frame allows.
- The rig is towed where you say: an RV repair shop, a truck shop that takes motorhomes, your home, a campground, or a storage lot.
- Passengers ride separately. Nobody rides in a towed RV or trailer. Plan for everyone to travel in the tow truck cab if there is room, or arrange a ride. Ask on the phone so it is settled before the truck arrives.
Staying safe while you wait
- Pull as far off the pavement as the rig allows and set the hazard lights. On I-25 and US 50, get everyone out and away from the traffic side.
- Put out triangles or flares behind the rig if you carry them and can do it safely.
- Turn off propane appliances and shore power if you were connected.
- Note the nearest exit, mile marker, or campground name before you call. A big vehicle is easy to spot, but the exact spot still saves time.
- If the rig is blocking a lane or anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
What it costs
RV towing is priced by the size and weight of the rig and the distance it travels, and bigger rigs take more truck and more time to hook up. The full price is figured and confirmed on the phone before the work starts. The towing cost guide explains how tow pricing works in general, and the long distance page covers the runs that leave town, which RV tows often do.
