Need a travel trailer moved in Boston? Boston Towing Service dispatches around the clock across Boston, MA. Towing a travel trailer is not the same job as towing a sedan — it comes down to weight rating, deck length, and how the vehicle is secured — so we confirm what you are driving before a truck rolls, and quote the price before the hook goes on.
The right equipment for a travel trailer
Sending an under-rated truck is how a tow turns into damage. Our dispatcher matches the load to the equipment — deck, wheel-lift, or heavy wrecker — and the operator secures it to the manufacturer’s tie-down points rather than whatever is reachable.
A travel trailer that's lost a tire, snapped a hitch, or won't release from the tow vehicle on a Boston street needs an operator set up for long, low trailers, not a car hookup. Towing here often prices on a mile-based scale — a 5-mile tow typically runs $75–$275 in this market. Boston Towing Service dispatches 24/7 from East Boston.
Move-day breakdowns cluster on weekends, when campers and trailer owners are heading out of the city or back into it on a schedule — a blown tire, a snapped safety chain, or a hitch that won't release turns a departure into a wait on the shoulder. A travel trailer is long, low, and often loaded with everything for the trip, which changes how it gets hooked and where it can safely sit while it's dealt with.
Boston Towing Service already sees searches for RV and trailer towing come through, and dispatches 24 hours a day, seven days a week, out of its East Boston base — a trailer that loses a wheel bearing on a Friday evening departure gets the same answer as one that needs to move on a weekday morning.
How much does it cost to tow a travel trailer in Boston?
Trailer towing in this market is generally priced by distance rather than a flat rate. Published mile-based figures for Boston run from about $75–$275 for a 5-mile tow, drawn from six local providers, up to $75–$600 for a 50-mile relocation — a short move to the nearest campground or storage lot prices very differently than hauling a trailer back across state lines.
Boston Towing Service quotes the specific trip by phone before dispatch.
Can the trailer be dropped at a campground or storage lot instead of a shop?
Unlike a car with a mechanical problem, a lot of travel-trailer calls aren't about a repair at all — the tow vehicle is often fine, and the trailer just needs to move from where it broke down to a campground, a storage yard, or home. That's a point-to-point tow rather than a recovery, and it's priced on the same mileage scale as a longer relocation.
Do you tow RVs and travel trailers?
Yes — trailer and RV towing is a regular part of what Boston Towing Service handles, dispatched through the same 24/7 line as any other tow.
What does a long-distance trailer tow cost?
Published rates in the Boston market scale with mileage — from roughly $75–$275 for a 5-mile tow up to $75–$600 for a 50-mile move — and Boston Towing Service quotes the actual trip before dispatch rather than working off one flat number.
Can you tow a trailer that's disconnected from the tow vehicle?
Yes. A trailer sitting on its own, with no tow vehicle attached, still needs hookup equipment matched to its size and hitch type, and that's dispatched the same as an attached-trailer call.
