RV Towing in Mesa, AZ
Arizona’s stunning landscapes make it a premier destination for RV
enthusiasts, but when your motorhome, travel trailer, or fifth wheel
breaks down, you need a towing company with the equipment and expertise
to handle oversized vehicles. Tow Mesa provides professional RV towing
services throughout Mesa, AZ and the East Valley, using heavy-duty
trucks and specialized techniques developed over 30+ years in the
industry. Whether you’re stranded on the Superstition Freeway or need
your RV transported to a storage facility, our team has the capability
to move recreational vehicles of all sizes safely and efficiently.
Why Choose Tow Mesa for RV
Towing?
Recreational vehicles present unique towing challenges that standard
tow trucks simply cannot handle. Class A motorhomes can weigh 30,000
pounds or more. Fifth wheels require specialized hitching equipment.
Travel trailers need careful balancing and weight distribution during
transport. At Tow Mesa, we’ve invested in the heavy-duty equipment and
operator training necessary to handle these oversized loads.
Our RV towing capabilities include Class A, B, and C motorhomes,
fifth wheel trailers, travel trailers, toy haulers, pop-up campers, and
truck campers. We understand the complexities of RV
construction—slide-outs, awnings, roof-mounted air conditioners, and
delicate exterior finishes all require special attention during the
towing process.
What makes Tow Mesa different from other Mesa towing companies?
Experience matters when you’re dealing with a vehicle worth $50,000 to
$500,000 or more. Our operators have been towing RVs in the Arizona heat
for decades. They know how to avoid stress on RV frames, protect
exterior finishes from road debris, and navigate the unique challenges
of Arizona’s highways.
We also maintain relationships with RV repair facilities throughout
the Phoenix metro area. If you’re not sure where to take your disabled
motorhome, we can recommend certified service centers for your specific
brand—whether that’s Winnebago, Thor, Airstream, Grand Design, or any
other manufacturer.
Our heavy-duty tow trucks are equipped with the horsepower and
braking capacity to safely control RVs in all conditions. Arizona’s
summer temperatures can exceed 110°F, which puts enormous stress on
towing equipment. Our fleet is maintained to handle these extreme
conditions without compromising safety.
As a family-owned business serving the East Valley for over 30 years,
we understand that your RV represents more than transportation—it’s your
home on wheels, your vacation memories, and often a significant
financial investment. We treat every RV tow with the care and
professionalism these valuable vehicles deserve.
Our RV Towing Process
Towing an RV requires careful planning and execution. Here’s how Tow
Mesa handles every RV towing call:
Step 1: Assessment — When you call 480-725-5862, our
dispatcher collects detailed information about your RV: make, model,
year, length, and weight. This ensures we send the appropriately sized
equipment.
Step 2: Preparation — If you’re with the RV, our
dispatcher will guide you through preparing for transport: retracting
slides, securing loose items, disconnecting shore power, and lowering
leveling jacks.
Step 3: Arrival — Our heavy-duty tow truck arrives
with all necessary equipment. The operator conducts a visual inspection
and discusses any special handling requirements.
Step 4: Securing — For motorhomes, we use wheel-lift
or flatbed equipment depending on drivetrain configuration. For
trailers, we connect using appropriate hitching equipment and verify all
safety connections.
Step 5: Transport — Your RV is transported at safe
speeds with appropriate following distance. Our operators are trained in
large vehicle handling and understand RV-specific concerns like overhead
clearance.
Step 6: Delivery — We deliver your RV to your chosen
destination—repair facility, storage lot, campground, or residence—and
position it according to your instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you tow a Class A diesel pusher motorhome? A:
Yes. Our heavy-duty equipment handles Class A motorhomes of all sizes,
including diesel pushers up to 45 feet and 40,000+ pounds. We have the
capacity for even the largest motorhomes on the road.
Q: My RV has slide-outs extended. Can you still tow
it? A: We can tow with slides extended if absolutely necessary,
but we strongly recommend retracting them first. Extended slides are
vulnerable to damage during transport and may exceed legal width limits
for highway travel.
Q: Do you tow fifth wheel trailers without the
truck? A: Absolutely. We have fifth wheel hitching equipment
that allows us to tow fifth wheels and gooseneck trailers independently.
We can also tow the truck and trailer together if needed.
Q: What if my RV breaks down with people inside? A:
For safety and legal reasons, passengers cannot ride in a towed RV. We
can help arrange transportation for passengers or wait while you secure
alternate transportation.
Q: Can you tow my RV to a campground? A: Yes! We
deliver RVs to campgrounds, RV parks, storage facilities, repair shops,
and private residences throughout the Valley. Just provide the
destination address.
Q: My motorhome has air brakes. Can you tow it
safely? A: Our heavy-duty trucks are equipped with auxiliary
air connections for motorhomes with air brake systems. We maintain
proper braking capability throughout transport.
Q: Do you provide RV lockout service? A: Yes, we
offer lockout service for RVs. Our technicians are familiar with common
RV lock systems and can help you regain access without damage.
Q: How much notice do you need for RV towing? A: We
respond to emergency breakdowns immediately—call us anytime, 24/7. For
scheduled transports (storage moves, purchases), we recommend 24-48
hours notice to ensure equipment availability.
Q: Will towing void my RV warranty? A: Proper towing
by a professional service does not void RV warranties. We follow
manufacturer-recommended towing procedures and document our methods for
your records.
Q: Can you tow a vintage or classic RV? A: Yes! We
appreciate classic RVs like vintage Airstreams and take extra
precautions with these collectible vehicles. Let us know if your RV
requires special handling.
