Broken down or stuck in your RV in Greendale? 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. We recover rigs that are blown out, bogged in a soft site, off a pad, or wrecked, too. ~22-minute typical Greendale response, fully insured, and a price quoted before we hook up. Call (414) 279-5510.
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 WIS-36 (West Loomis Road) — a real Greendale dispatcher answers live and we bring the right wrecker, the driveline tools, and the recovery gear the first time.
Local to Greendale
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.
The narrow streets of the historic Village Center slow traffic but rarely strand it. West Loomis Road (WIS-36) is the main diagonal artery, and the load grows on the I-894 / I-43 corridor just north and east of the village (the Hale Interchange area), which takes the heaviest rush-hour volume, peaking 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM. Busiest of all is South 76th Street (CTH-U) past Southridge Mall — flooded with shopping traffic on weekends and through the holidays, and a frequent fender-bender spot, especially at Edgerton and Grange Avenues.
~8 road miles from our South Side yard, with coverage across Milwaukee & Waukesha counties. Live ETA confirmed on the call.
In Greendale, the calls cluster around Hale Interchange and WIS-36 (West Loomis Road), WIS-24, and CTH-U (South 76th Street), plus the yards around Village Industrial District (South 76th Street corridor) — blowouts, drivetrain failures, and overheated coaches, plus rigs bogged in soft sites. Our trucks come through Hale Interchange, and we bring a rated heavy-duty wrecker and air-cushion recovery and tow it driveline-safe to the shop, dealer, or campground. Around the Southridge Mall district (Macy's, JCPenney, TJ Maxx), Historic Village Center (Broadway), and South 76th Street (CTH-U) retail corridor, Greendale RV moves get the same drill: rated rigging, an insured haul, the price fixed on the call.
RV season in Greendale runs spring through fall — holiday-weekend breakdowns and rigs bogged in rain-soft sites — and winter shifts us to cold-weather no-starts on coaches out of storage. Winter snow & ice (Nov–Mar) — full inland accumulation, less lake melt-off.
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.
Summers here run warm and humid — the gentle half of a humid continental year. Winter is the other half, and because Greendale is an inland southwest suburb with less lake moderation than the Milwaukee lakefront, it arrives cold and snowy in earnest: snow piles up, overnight temperatures drop hard, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles chew up roads and drain batteries.

Sound familiar?
Transmission, engine, or fuel failure mid-trip on WIS-36 (West Loomis Road) 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 Greendale 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 Greendale 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 WIS-36 (West Loomis Road) 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 Greendale
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 Greendale.
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.

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 South 76th Street or the I-894 approach gets a rated heavy-duty wrecker and a driveline-safe tow to your shop, dealer, or storage. We keep it off the 3-ton South 43rd Street. Get to the shoulder, hazards on, stay buckled, and call (414) 279-5510.
Yes — a motorhome wedged in a Southridge lot, a Village Center block, or on soft ground near the Root River Parkway gets winched on rated points and traction gear, then towed if it can't roll. 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. Call (414) 279-5510.
