BYO camper to South America - Pros and Cons?
Howdy, we are a couple of golden oldies enjoying travel in our 1996 Lance Legend slide on camper on trusty 2003 Chevy Silverado, so far throughout USA, with plans to travel in South America, where we have previously lived and worked for a couple of years.
To do this we have to decide, do we sell our truck camper (which we are very fond of) in the USA, then try to rent or buy a similar rig in Chile or elsewhere in South America, or do we ship our camper roll on/roll off from USA to South America, travel there for three to six months, then ship it back to USA when we are done?
So we would very much appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have about the viability of shipping a truck camper like ours (which is unfortunately about three inches too wide to fit into a container) roll on/roll off from USA to South America. Is it a good idea or likely to be a costly nightmare?
