K9 collects caravans from dealers, garages and driveways around Richmond, as well as recovering breakdowns along the A316 and A205. A suitable truck or trailer is sent depending on whether the caravan is roadworthy. Call 07301 118118 and we will confirm your price on WhatsApp first.
Collecting a caravan from a dealer near Richmond after a service, a warranty repair or a part-exchange is not something every owner wants to do themselves, particularly if the dealer is some distance from home or the caravan is larger than the one being replaced. K9 handles this kind of collection regularly along the A316 and the A205 around Twickenham and Richmond.
Unlike a breakdown, a dealer collection can be planned in advance, which usually means a driver arriving at a time that suits you rather than being dispatched in a hurry.

What to arrange with the dealer
Before booking with us, confirm with the dealer that the caravan will be ready, whether they need any paperwork signed on collection, and whether the handover contact will be on site. We will need the dealer address, your delivery address, and the usual details about the caravan itself, length, axle count and the weight from the plate.
Roadworthy or not
Sometimes a caravan comes straight out of a workshop fully roadworthy and can be re-hitched to our recovery vehicle and towed away conventionally. Other times, particularly after a chassis or axle repair, the dealer may prefer it is carried rather than towed until it has done a proper road test. Either way our driver will follow whatever the dealer recommends.
Roads around Richmond
The A316 and A205 carry most of the through traffic here, linking Richmond with Twickenham, Kingston, Barnes and Teddington, all areas we cover from the same network of drivers. Streets closer to the river can be narrow and busy with pedestrians, so mentioning parking restrictions or a specific side entrance at the dealer helps our driver plan the collection properly.
Getting the price agreed upfront
K9 puts a specific price on your job and sends it to your phone through WhatsApp ahead of any driver leaving base, so the amount is settled before the recovery begins rather than after. There is no standalone charge purely for attendance, and cover or membership held elsewhere makes no difference to whether we can help.
Not just dealer collections
The same team also handles breakdowns and storage moves throughout Richmond and the neighbouring areas, so if your circumstances change between booking and collection day, or a second caravan needs moving from a different address, just let us know and we fit it in.
Collecting from a private seller instead of a dealer
Not every collection near Richmond involves a dealer, plenty are private sales where the caravan is parked on a driveway or a quiet residential street close to the river. The same principles apply, confirm the caravan details with the seller beforehand and let us know about any access restrictions on narrow roads near Richmond or Twickenham.
Warranty repairs and manufacturer recalls
If your caravan is being collected because of a manufacturer recall or a warranty repair, the dealer may specify exactly which workshop it needs to go to, sometimes further away than your nearest branch. K9 can deliver to any address in the country, not just the nearest depot, so this does not need to limit your options.
Moving more than one caravan at once
Occasionally a dealer trade-in means two caravans need to move on the same day, the new one arriving as the old one leaves. We can coordinate both journeys so they happen close together, reducing the amount of time either caravan spends sitting on a driveway it does not belong on.
Access around the river and Twickenham
Streets closer to the Thames around Richmond and Twickenham can be affected by parking permits, one-way systems and, at certain times of year, flooding on the lowest lying roads. Mentioning any of this in advance helps our driver choose the right route and arrival time.
What if the caravan fails an inspection at the dealer
Sometimes a caravan brought in for a routine service reveals a more serious fault, a damaged chassis member or a failed axle, that the dealer will not release without a further repair. In these cases we can still collect it, carried rather than towed, and either bring it home to wait for parts or take it directly to a specialist better equipped for that particular repair.
Whatever the reason for the collection, dealer visit, private sale, or a straightforward breakdown, the same team and the same network of drivers across Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston and Barnes is available to help, with a price agreed before anything is arranged.
Call 07301 118118 to arrange a collection, or use the quote tool to send the dealer and delivery details through in writing first.

Caravan recovery questions in Richmond
Can K9 collect a caravan from a dealer near Richmond after a repair?
Yes, dealer collections are a regular part of our work here. Confirm with the dealer that the caravan is ready, then give us both addresses and we arrange a suitable driver.
Will the caravan be towed or carried from the dealer?
That depends on what the dealer decides after the repair. If they consider it fully roadworthy it can be towed conventionally, otherwise our driver carries it instead.
Do I need to be present for a dealer collection?
Not usually, provided the dealer has the paperwork ready and knows we are collecting on your behalf, though it helps if you can be reached by phone during the collection.
Do you also cover Twickenham and Kingston from a Richmond base?
Yes, the same drivers covering Richmond also reach Twickenham, Kingston, Barnes and Teddington.
