MKE Towing & Recovery — open 24/7. RV broken down or stuck in Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County? MKE Towing & Recovery tows Class A, B and C motorhomes, and moves fifth-wheels and travel trailers when the tow vehicle is down. On a rear-engine diesel pusher the driveline is disconnected before the lift, so the transmission rides free. A rig stuck in a soft site is recovered first. Call (414) 279-5510.
Instant quote — free, no phone call needed
Length drives an RV price, so the calculator asks for it, along with the class and where the coach is going. The dispatcher quotes the same number by phone.
An RV breakdown isn’t a car breakdown — you’re stranded with a six-figure coach, maybe with family and pets aboard. Tell dispatch the class and length, what’s wrong (drivetrain, tire, stuck, or a dead tow vehicle), and your mile marker on I-94 — a real Greater Milwaukee dispatcher answers live and we bring the right wrecker, the driveline tools, and the recovery gear the first time.
Before you call
Class, length and the drivetrain decide the truck and the method.
If the coach has to move now, the dispatcher gives you an arrival estimate. A planned move to a shop or to storage is booked for a set day.
Diesel pushers
On a rear-engine diesel pusher the engine and transmission sit at the back. Lift and drag it with the driveline connected and the transmission can be ruined. So the driveshaft is disconnected first, the coach is lifted at the frame on rated gear, and dollies go under the free axle where the drivetrain calls for them.
Low coaches, and rigs that slid off a pad, are lifted with air cushions and soft rigging so the underbody, the slides and the bumper fascia don’t scrape.
Class B and C
Class C coaches and Super Cs are built on van or truck chassis. They tow by wheel-lift or flatbed with the driveline handled the way the chassis needs, and the over-cab bunk protected.
A Class B camper van tows like a heavy van. The high roof and any AWD are checked before the hookup.
Fifth-wheels and travel trailers
When your truck dies, we move the rig it can’t pull. The fifth-wheel or travel trailer is hooked by its kingpin or hitch, with the brakes, lights and load checked and the slides and ramp secured. The truck can come too. More on trailers is on trailer towing.
Sound familiar?
Transmission, engine, or fuel failure mid-trip on I-94 in a Class A or C. We disconnect the driveline, lift on a heavy wrecker, and tow it to an RV or truck shop — the drivetrain rides untouched.
A Class A blew a tire and big coaches don’t carry a spare. We get you off the Greater Milwaukee shoulder and tow it in driveline-safe — no dragging on the rim.
Sunk into soft ground, sand, or mud at a site, or wedged in tight. That’s a winch-out and air-cushion recovery — pulled free, then towed or re-set.
A motorhome or fifth-wheel in a ditch, on its side, or wrecked. We rig it with a heavy wrecker and recover it without adding damage, then transport it in.
Your truck died and left your fifth-wheel or travel trailer stranded. We tow the trailer itself, or recover both, to your shop, dealer, or campground.
A non-emergency RV transport to a shop, dealer, or storage — scheduled, insured, and handled with the same driveline care as an emergency call.
Running or not, we load it
A motorhome isn’t a big car. Hook-and-drag a rear-engine diesel pusher and you can destroy the transmission. We lift on a rated heavy-duty wrecker and underlift, disconnect the driveline first, and the engine and drivetrain ride untouched — with dollies under the free axle where the drivetrain calls for it.
Call dispatch — (414) 279-5510Your tow vehicle died and left you with a rig you can’t pull? We hook the fifth-wheel or travel trailer itself and tow it to your shop, dealer, or campground — or recover both the truck and the trailer together. Coupling, brakes, lights, and load checked first.
Call dispatch — (414) 279-5510A Class A with a blown tire and no spare, a coach sunk in a soft campground site, a rig in a ditch, or a rollover — that’s a recovery, not just a tow. We winch out or rig with air cushions and a heavy wrecker, protect the body, then load and secure it.
Call dispatch — (414) 279-5510Do you handle mine? Almost certainly.
The big bus-style coaches, ~13,000–50,000 lb — Tiffin, Newmar, Winnebago, Thor, Entegra. A rear-engine diesel pusher needs the driveline disconnected before it’s lifted, or the transmission is at risk. We lift on a rated heavy-duty wrecker and underlift, dollies under the free axle.
Cab-over coaches on a van or truck chassis, ~10,000–26,000 lb — and Super C units on a medium-duty chassis. Towed wheel-lift or flatbed with the driveline handled to the chassis, the body and over-cab bunk protected.
Van-based campers, ~8,000–11,000 lb — Travato, Airstream Interstate, Roadtrek, Sprinter and Transit builds. Towed wheel-lift or flatbed like a heavy van, drivetrain handled and the high roof and gear clearance checked first.
When your tow vehicle is down, we move the rig it can’t. Fifth-wheels, travel trailers, and toy haulers towed by the coupling or recovered with the tow vehicle — kingpin, hitch, brakes, and load checked, slides and ramp secured.
What RV & motorhome towing covers
A motorhome isn’t a big car — hook-and-drag a rear-engine diesel pusher and you can wreck the transmission. So we disconnect the driveline, lift at the frame on rated heavy gear, and roll the free axle on dollies, every time.
A picker, not a promise — the final wrecker and the exact drivetrain handling are confirmed from your rig’s class, length, weight, and what’s wrong on the call.
Secured, not dragged
On a rear-engine diesel pusher and certain drivetrains we disconnect the driveshaft before we lift, so the transmission and rear end ride free — never a hook-and-drag that wrecks the gearbox.
Heavy-duty wrecker, underlift, and dollies rated to the coach’s real weight — lifted at the frame and axles, never dragged on a flat tire or off the body.
Low-ground-clearance coaches and rigs off a pad get air bags and soft rigging, so we lift without scraping the underbody, slides, or bumper fascia.
Chained and strapped at the frame to FMCSA §393.130, slides and bays latched, and contact points padded — your rig arrives the way it left.
What it costs & why
An Greater Milwaukee RV tow is priced before we hook up — a drivable Class C towed across town is the low end; a diesel pusher recovered from a ditch and hauled a long distance is the high end. It comes down to class and weight, whether the driveline has to come off, distance and site access, and any recovery. We show the factors and the price holds.
You get a price before we hook up — or, for a planned transport, a clear per-mile structure with recovery and dolly time itemized — and a clean invoice after. No lowball-then-add-on. A heavy roadside plan may cap what it covers; we can bill or coordinate and provide a COI for your file.
See my exact priceLength drives everything — a 26-ft Class C and a 45-ft Class A are different tows entirely, and the heavier and longer the rig, the more wrecker, underlift, and dollies it takes.
A drivable rig on a wheel-lift is the simple move; a diesel pusher that needs the driveline disconnected and dollies under the rear is billed for the work it takes.
A short hop to the local shop versus a long haul, and how reachable you are — a tight campground, soft ground, or the I-94 shoulder adds work.
A clean load versus a rig blown out, bogged in a soft site, or rolled in a ditch — rigged and billed to the real difficulty, quoted before we roll.
Our anti-damage process
Tell dispatch the class and length, the make, and what’s wrong — drivetrain, tire, stuck, or a dead tow vehicle. We confirm the heavy wrecker, the driveline tools, and any dollies before a truck leaves Greater Milwaukee.
A blown tire, a soft campground site, a ditch, or a rollover gets recovered first with a winch, air cushions, and a rated wrecker — before anything is lifted.
On a rear-engine diesel pusher and certain drivetrains we disconnect the driveshaft so the transmission and rear end ride free — never a hook-and-drag that wrecks the gearbox.
Lifted at the frame and axles on a heavy-duty wrecker and underlift, with dollies under the free axle. Never dragged on a flat tire or lifted off the body.
Chained and strapped at the frame to FMCSA §393.130, slides and bays latched, low-clearance points cushioned, and contact points padded.
To the RV or truck shop, the dealer, your campground, or storage — with clean paperwork and a COI for your file.

RV & Motorhome Towing across Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County
