We found this image on the CampingRoadTrip.com Facebook page and first gasped, then chuckled… Could this be real? A few Facebook commenters mention they’ve seen this helicopter-towin’ RV around the country before, so it must be!
The owners of this rig and ‘copter combo are lucky when they need to scout out a new campsite, or see what the traffic jam up ahead is all about. “Honey, fly the ‘copter up ahead and see what’s going on!” Or, “Honey, site number 32 is still available to book next week… let’s fly on over and see what it looks like from above.”
They’d be good friends to have if you were visiting the Grand Canyon together though… free ride, anyone?

I seem to remember years ago a photo being posted in rv travel of an rv towing a helicopter!
In fact if I remember correctly it wasGary Bunser (sp?), the rv doctor.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
I believe it was the Wanderman. He used to write a column for RVtravel on gadgets and things. He bought a helicopter and towed it home. Shortly thereafter he ceased writing for the newsletter. Always curious to learn how he made out with his helicopter.
Hey Larry,I used to follow him also,went to his site,however not been updated in years.
Thanks Larry, I knew I remembered a helicopter being trailered behind an RV.
Me too!
Not sure if this is the same one, but we saw an RV towing a helicopter at Lake Aire campground in Hollywood, SC.
Ran into these folks a few years back up in Burns Lake BC. They were on their way to Alaska and had stopped in at the airport there for fuel.
I’m curious how they get the copter on and off the trailer.
They fly it on and off
Sort of like levitation…. but with a motor.
Thank you, RV Travel! 🙂 Well, using the helicopter looks to be a bit more time consuming than unhitching the towed vehicle might be. It takes us 3-4 minutes, depending on whether the tow bar is bound in any way. Thank you for the picture and I’ll be on the lookout when we travel. Meanwhile, thank you and safe tdavels! 🙂
I just thought I should say the ads are more friendly tonight.
Not in the middle of a story I’m reading.
Thanks!
I figure a positive post may help, they said bear-bare with them……..
Thanks, Joyce. Good to hear. They’re still working on making things less annoying, shall we say.🤔 Have a good night 😀 –Diane
