- DakzukiExplorer IIWe saw quite a few foreign RVs when we were doing western National Parks last spring. Everything from a tiny Ducato based C no longer than a mini van to full on expedition vehicles. We even saw a genuine Camel Trophy Land Rover that came from Australia.

Interesting looking locks on the outside compartments and the door.
Possibly added for unaccompanied shipping security. Merchant sailors have been known to pilfer cargo, and it's a sure risk on the docks before loading and after unloading.
Heck, in '69 we went aboard a merchie in the Straits of Taiwan to fight a bad fire. Their gratitude was such that we had to search the crew's berthing with an armed officer (ours) to get our foul weather jackets back....

She's not coming back." - n7bsnExplorerThere was also a caravan of rental MH's, 14 of them had Swiss flags (and numbers) on the back (one had a Swedish flag). Saw them at... Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point SP, Monument Valley and stops between.

- paulm999ExplorerCar/Motorhome $3500/$8000 1 port-to-port RORO, usually including min. insurance. Paperwork, inspections emissions, safety regs, and government fees....priceless....so hire a shipping agent experienced to handle all the nonsense on both sides of the pond.

More likely, for something like this they are put in a container and shipped that way.
Watching a RoRo unload is amazing..... - garyhauptExplorer$3,500 for a 24ft C each way. I checked.
