Shipping a small camper from Europe to USA

Hello travellers,

we are planning a trip taking our camper with us from Germany to USA, USA or Canada to Japan and from Japan to Russia ( Vladivostock ) .

Here are my questions :

1.
Can anybody recommend a company to ship our camper from Germany to USA ?

2.
Can anybody recommend a company to ship our camper from USA/ may be better Canada to Japan ?

3. Can anybody recommend a company to ship out camper from Japan to Vladivostock( Russia ) ?

We would prefer RORO if possible .

Regards

Achim

welcome to HU Herrmann!
Start with the Get Ready / Shipping section of the website. See the main menu above for more info - lots of motorcycle shipping info of course, but shippers deal with everything, so may be able to help.
Hopefully someone will have some ideas.

Best of luck, and do let us know how you did!

Unfortunately shipping dont get cheaper... Small camper means he fits in a standard container?

Here I did wrote down, what options are around for europe to south america - and my used contacts at 2015. Maybe this could help you too (at least to get one of the offers).

I love the "passenger with ship & car" option, who is too available between europe and north america.

Always you should get 3 different offers to get a good price.

Seabridge is specialiced for car shipping, one offer should be placed there too.

Beater option is to purchase camper in the USA register on your name ... no need to be resident and travel to Canada then to Japan.

I would suggest before you set off on this trip that you make sure your camper fits in a container, preferably a standard size one, I have met people with wide campers who have had a dreadful problem getting shipped out of a couple of places due to a wide body, not sure how they got around the problem.

Dear Achim,
if you want to ship the camper RoRo you are not allowed to leave any baggage in the car for the transport - as per my knowledge. I would recommend a container to Halifax or to Vancouver instead of USA. Let me know if we can assist

Cheers
Olaf
