How a caravan is moved
- A crane lifts the cabin with slings or chains on its lifting points.
- It is loaded onto a lowbed or flatbed depending on weight and size.
- It is tied down and secured for the road.
- At the new site a crane lifts it off and sets it on its base.
Prepare the cabin
- Disconnect power, water and drainage completely.
- Empty heavy furniture and appliances, or secure what stays inside.
- Close and secure doors and windows, and remove outside AC units that stick out.
- Check the underframe and lifting points for rust or damage.
Prepare the new site
- The base or blocks are ready and level in the final spot.
- The entrance lets the lowbed and crane in, and the crane can park close to the base.
- Services are ready to connect after set-down.
What to give the owner for a quote
- The cabin's size (length and width) and type.
- The current and new locations as map links.
