Shipping a motorhome to the UK

Motorhomes are a step up from cars, and the right way to ship one depends on how big it is.

Size decides the method

Smaller vans can go in a container like a car. Larger motorhomes go by RoRo or road freight. Give us the make, model and rough dimensions and we will tell you which works best.

Either way, we get it to the UK safely and within a sensible timeframe, and we clear it through customs when it lands.

From the United States

It is the route we are asked about most. By RoRo it can take a month or more; by container, around 4 to 6 weeks or more. Size makes a big difference to the price, so we quote each one individually.
