🚧 1. Pre-Shipping Preparation

• Deep clean: Wash the RV exterior and clean the interior to comply with port and customs requirements.
• Drain all tanks: Completely empty fuel, water, and waste tanks before shipment.
• Secure all loose items: Lock cabinets, secure appliances, and remove personal belongings.
• Disable alarms: Turn off motion sensors, security systems, and electronics.
• Check tires and fluids: Make sure tires are fully inflated and there are no fluid leaks.
• Measure accurately: Record the total length, width, height, and weight for shipping quotes and transport arrangements.
• Take photos: Capture images of the RV’s condition from all sides for insurance documentation.

🚚 2. Transport to the Port

You can drive your RV directly to the port or schedule professional pickup through your shipping provider. RVs are usually transported on specialized lowboy trailers if oversized. Check local road restrictions for wide-load transport.

🌊 3. Shipping Options

🚤 Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) Shipping

This is the most common and cost-effective method. The RV is driven onto the RoRo vessel and secured below deck. It must be operational and free of personal items.

📦 Container Shipping

For smaller camper vans or Class B RVs that fit inside a 40-foot container, this option provides full enclosure and protection. Container shipping is ideal for high-value or weather-sensitive vehicles.

📄 4. Documentation Required

• Original title and registration (no liens)
• Owner’s passport or valid photo ID
• Shipping company’s export power of attorney (POA)
• Bill of sale if recently purchased
• Customs forms and export declaration (your shipper assists with this)
