RV and camper trouble in Calgary? Spring prep, trip breakdowns, storage moves and fall shutdown. What to tell dispatch. Dave's Towing 24/7: 403-272-3944.
For a lot of Calgary families, the camping season runs from the May long weekend to Thanksgiving, with trips to the mountains, the foothills and lakes across southern Alberta. The trailer or camper spends the rest of the year in a driveway, a storage yard or a farm lot. Each part of that cycle brings its own kind of tow call.
Dave's Towing Services has been helping drivers in Calgary and nearby communities since 1992, and we're available 24/7. We handle suitable light- and medium-duty RV and trailer jobs. This guide walks through the season, from spring pickup to fall storage, so you know what to expect and what to have ready when you call 403-272-3944.
After months of sitting, trailers often have soft or cracked tires, seized brakes, dead batteries or a jack that won't crank. If your trailer or camper won't come out of storage on its own, we can help move it to your home, a service shop or a campground.
Before you call, check:
If the trailer has settled into soft ground over the winter, it may need to be winched to firm ground before it can move.
Most RV and trailer breakdowns happen on the way somewhere. Common problems include a failed wheel bearing, a blown trailer tire, a tow vehicle that overheats on a long climb, or a hitch issue spotted at a fuel stop.
Our Calgary highway towing pages cover what to do on Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail, Highway 1 and other major routes.
Campsites are often tight, with trees, posts and soft ground. Tell us the site layout, the road leading in, and whether there's room to back a truck in and turn around. Photos help.
As the weather turns, many owners need a trailer moved to winter storage, to a shop for repairs before next season, or home from a seasonal site. Plan these moves early. Calgary can see snow in September, and an early storm can make yards and gravel pads harder to access.
Before the move:
Even in winter, trailers sometimes have to move: a storage lease ends, a yard is being cleared, or a trailer was damaged by snow load or wind. Let us know about snow around the trailer, frozen landing gear, and access to the lot.
We handle light- and medium-duty jobs. That often includes utility trailers, cargo trailers, tent trailers, smaller travel trailers, and suitable fifth-wheels. For large RVs and motorhomes, call and describe the unit. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a job we can do. For a closer look at fifth-wheel hitches and running gear, read our trailer and fifth-wheel towing guide.
Many RV calls come from just outside the city. We help in Calgary and nearby areas including Okotoks, High River, Strathmore, Cochrane and Rocky View County. See our Equipment, Trailer & RV Transport page for more.
Yes, for suitable light- and medium-duty trailers. Tell us the trailer type and its condition, and let us know about access at both ends.
We'll talk through it with you. Often the truck and trailer move in separate trips, to a shop and to a safe place to park the trailer.
Yes. Dave's Towing is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
