MKE Towing & Recovery tows Class A, B, and C motorhomes, diesel pushers, and fifth-wheels with heavy-duty wreckers — disconnecting the driveline so we never damage your transmission.

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 Silver Spring Dr (CTH VV, truck route) — a real Butler dispatcher answers live and we bring the right wrecker, the driveline tools, and the recovery gear the first time.
Local to Butler
You're not calling a national call center — you're calling a crew that knows the corridors we run, the RV shops and campgrounds we reach, and how fast a heavy wrecker gets to you.
For a village barely three-quarters of a square mile, Butler's pattern is simple: Hampton Avenue (CTH KK, continuing as CTH EE) carries the east–west movement and West Silver Spring Drive (CTH VV) — the only signed truck route through town — takes the north–south and freight load, both feeding N 124th Street. The one signalized major crossing is Hampton Avenue & N 124th Street; the Hampton Avenue & Hampton Road junction a block west is uncontrolled, the kind of geometry that produces low-speed fender-benders. The other Butler variable is the rail line the village was built around: when a train works the yard, cars stack at the grade crossings until it clears.
Live ETA confirmed when you call — Butler sits 14 road miles from our yard, and we cover both counties.
RV work in Butler splits between the storage lots, seasonal sites, and dealer bays and the Hampton Avenue commercial node (CTH KK) side of town — blowouts, drivetrain failures, and overheated coaches, plus rigs bogged in soft sites. Our trucks come through the Silver Spring Dr (CTH VV, truck route) ramps, and we bring a rated heavy-duty wrecker and air-cushion recovery and tow it driveline-safe to the shop, dealer, or campground. From Silver Spring Drive (CTH VV) truck-route corridor, Hampton Avenue corridor (CTH KK / CTH EE), and 124th Street corridor to the Silver Spring Dr (CTH VV, truck route) shoulder, we keep Butler RV moves on schedule — 7 days a week.
The busy months track camping season — Butler rigs out on Silver Spring Dr (CTH VV, truck route), sites gone soft after rain. Off-season it's storage-lot no-starts. Winter ice & snow (Nov–Mar) on Silver Spring Drive (CTH VV) and the Hampton Avenue approaches.
Wisconsin's legal limits on the interstate run 8'6" wide, 13'6" high, and 80,000 lb gross — anything over needs a WisDOT oversize/overweight permit, and we pull it.
Wisconsin's spring thaw brings posted weight restrictions (“frost laws”) on local roads from roughly March into April — we know which routes are posted and plan the legal way in.
Butler's weather hazards are compact, like the village itself — a built-up grid along the Menomonee River where freeze-thaw pavement damage, winter snow and the occasional pocket of river-corridor fog make up most of the driving-hazard list. The climate is Milwaukee-metro standard: humid continental, cold and snowy winters opposite warm, muggy summers.

Sound familiar?
Transmission, engine, or fuel failure mid-trip on Silver Spring Dr (CTH VV, truck route) 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 Butler 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.
The full playbook
Runs or not, we load it — drive-on, winch-on, or crane — and secure it to rated points every time. The complete guide (equipment classes, what's in scope, and exactly how your RV rides) lives on our main RV & Motorhome Towing page.
Read the full RV & Motorhome Towing guideWhat it costs & why
An Butler 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.

A 10,000-lb Class C and a 45,000-lb diesel pusher are different tows — the heavier and longer the rig, the more wrecker, underlift, and dollies it takes.
A drivable rig on a wheel-lift is the quick 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 Silver Spring Dr (CTH VV, truck route) 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.
Getting help in Butler
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 Butler.
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 in Butler
Typically 30–45 minutes for a heavy unit, dispatched from our South Side yard ~14 miles out. We run the US-45 approach and the West Silver Spring Drive (CTH VV) truck route daily, so a coach in or near the village isn't waiting long. Call (414) 279-5510 24/7.
An RV tow is quoted up front, not from a fixed menu — the price reflects the coach's length and weight, whether it rolls or needs recovery, distance, and access. RV and box-truck class tows start at $450. We give you the number before we hook up and hold it. Call (414) 279-5510.
Yes. A coach that overheats or blows a tire on the US-45 approach or along Hampton Avenue gets a rated heavy-duty wrecker and a driveline-safe tow to your shop, dealer, or storage. Get to the shoulder, hazards on, stay buckled, and call (414) 279-5510.
Yes — a coach wedged on one of the village's tight residential streets or bogged on soft ground near Frontier Park gets winched on rated points and traction gear, then towed if it can't roll. In a village under a square mile, we plan the approach before the truck arrives. Tell dispatch the rig's size. Call (414) 279-5510.
Wherever you need — your RV shop or dealer, a storage lot, or home. We confirm the destination and the quote on the call before the truck rolls, and tow the coach driveline-safe the whole way, routing out via West Silver Spring Drive and US-45. Call (414) 279-5510.
