At Red Tow, we’ve seen a steady rise in requests to move alternative housing projects — from converted buses and motorhomes to tiny homes and mobile studios. What began as a niche trend has now become a mainstream housing option, and Red Tow has proudly become one of Melbourne’s most trusted transport specialists for these unique structures.
Why Red Tow? Experience Meets Capability
Relocating a converted bus or tiny home isn’t a typical towing job. These units often sit low to the ground, include delicate internal fittings, and in many cases, are unregistered or non-drivable. That’s where Red Tow’s specialised equipment makes the difference.
For most relocations, we use our SuperTilt Tilt Deck Trailer, designed to handle long, low, and heavy loads. Its hydraulic tilt system allows for a controlled self-loading process, ideal for large motorhomes and decommissioned buses being repurposed into homes. When a vehicle can’t roll or needs to be towed from a tight site, our Titan Heavy Underlift Tow Truck comes into play. This 20-tonne winch-equipped recovery unit makes it possible to safely recover or reposition heavy buses without damage.
Transporting Bus Conversions & Tiny Homes
Every job begins with an on-site assessment. We inspect the structure’s weight, balance points, and underbody clearance to determine whether it’s best suited for tilt-deck loading or heavy tow recovery. Some units are mobile enough to be winched onto our trailer; others need to be lifted and secured using heavy recovery gear.
Our team takes special care to protect windows, solar panels, and rooftop fixtures — ensuring the journey is safe from vibration or movement damage. We’ve successfully relocated dozens of unique projects across Victoria, from vintage school bus conversions and coach-style homes, to compact tiny houses on wheels being delivered to new properties.
Compliance & Safety Matter
When moving alternative housing, road compliance and insurance are critical. Red Tow operates under full heavy-vehicle accreditation, ensuring all moves comply with Victorian towing and oversize transport requirements. We provide all necessary safety chains, warning lights, and escort vehicles when required — giving our clients peace of mind that their project is in professional hands.
A Complete Relocation Solution
From country properties to coastal retreats, Red Tow handles both short-distance relocations and long-haul interstate deliveries. Our combination of heavy tow trucks, tilt trailers, and crane support gives us the flexibility to handle any setup. If a site is difficult to access, we coordinate with Red Tow Crane Services to lift or reposition the unit as needed.
