Shipping an A class RV from USA to UK.

[Andy Stephenson]

Hi guys and more importantly Pippi.
I have been watching loads of u tube video,s about RV,s and have become hooked big time she is a brave and lovely girl and i am sorry to hear about her partner and travel companion, They say big boys dont cry i come close watching her on u tube.
Ok my name is Andy Stephenson i am from Strood Rochester (town) in the county of Kent. And that is in England. People call it the garden of England. I am seriously looking to buy a 35/36ft A class and ship it from the USA to the UK. What i would like to know is if it is easy to do and how much will it cost before i make the long journey to Tampa.Pippi would you please give us a mention on u tube. All the best to you lol Andy.

Gosh Andy, I have no idea. I’d say start by contacting a shipping company. Also, have you fully ruled out anything that is manufactured and/or sold in Europe? I would imagine that to be thousands of dollars/pounds cheaper.

Perhaps there are some American brand RVs that are already sold a little closer to you.

Best of luck in that. Please update us on what you decide to do. I hope for the best for you guys and your new adventures! Thanks so much for tuning in 😀

I would check locally before buying abroad. Class A’s are rare in the UK and you may not find places that can accommodate its large size. I’d hate to try to drive one on a roundabout.

Also, the steering wheel will be on the left side (because in the US, and here, Canada) we drive on the right side of the road.

Are there proper dump stations for the black tank in the UK or do the smaller B class caravans all have Thetford cassette toilets?

Doing diligent research can save a lot of heartache later.

Great points Jon. Something that crossed my mind when you mentioned about the drivers’ sides being swapped was the side of the vehicle that all the utilities are located on. In the US, we all back in or pull into a spot and have our starboard sides next to the electric and sewer plug ins. Perhaps that’s opposite in the UK because of the opposite driver’s side.
