Common Bus and RV Towing Scenarios
Charter Bus Breakdown
A passenger motorcoach breaks down on I-40 near the Memphis airport exit, leaving passengers stranded and blocking a travel lane that requires immediate response.
RV Engine Failure
A Class A diesel pusher suffers an engine failure while traveling through Memphis on Highway 61 and needs transport to a certified RV service center.
School Bus Recovery
A Memphis-area school district bus becomes disabled on a neighborhood route and needs non-damaging towing back to the district maintenance facility.
Our Bus and RV Towing Process
Passenger Safety Confirmation
For occupied vehicles, our dispatcher coordinates with you to confirm passengers are safely off the roadway or relocated before the wrecker begins approach and setup.
Vehicle Assessment
The operator identifies the chassis manufacturer and tow point locations, checks for frame damage or low-hanging components that could snag during extraction, and selects rigging method.
Underlift Attachment and Lift
Using adjustable underlift arms rated for the vehicle's rear axle weight, the coach or RV is lifted at the correct points to prevent body damage, air bag suspension deflation, or drivetrain stress.
Transport to Service Facility
The vehicle is transported to your preferred repair shop, RV dealership service center, or secure storage yard in the Memphis metro area, with delivery confirmation provided.
Bus and RV Towing - Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend detaching the towed vehicle before towing the motorhome when possible. If roadside conditions make that difficult, our operator will assess whether a two-unit response or dolly setup is the safest approach.
When lifted from the correct chassis tow points using underlift equipment, air ride suspension systems are not under load during towing. Improper hookup at body panels or bumpers is what typically causes suspension and frame damage.
Passenger safety is the first priority. We work with the driver and your transportation company to arrange passenger transfer before towing begins. We can also coordinate with Memphis transit options if a replacement bus is delayed.
We transport to any facility you designate, including RV dealerships in the Cordova and Germantown areas or independent chassis repair shops throughout Shelby and DeSoto counties. We do not have preferred provider restrictions.
