Can I ship a motorhome by RORO from the UK?
Yes, if the total height with all rooftop equipment is under 2.8m and the vessel has a truck deck. Most VW and Transit conversions fit; A-class motorhomes typically need flat-rack.
Motorhome & Campervan Shipping from the UK
Motorhomes and campervans need specialist handling — exterior height, length and rooftop fixtures push most leisure vehicles outside the standard RORO or container envelope. The Ship Cars books motorhome shipments on RORO truck decks, flat-rack containers and breakbulk vessels from Southampton, Tilbury and Felixstowe to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and East Africa.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to ship a motorhome to the USA?
A standard 6–7m motorhome ships RORO from Southampton to Baltimore from around £2,950–£4,800 in 2026. Flat-rack adds £1,500–£2,500 for taller A-class units.
Do US 25-year and Australian SEVs rules apply to motorhomes?
Yes. Under the USA 25-year rule, motorhomes older than 25 years bypass EPA and DOT compliance. Australia's RAW/SEVs scheme covers leisure vehicles separately — we advise on eligibility before booking.
Can I leave personal effects inside?
RORO typically prohibits loose items. Shared and dedicated container shipments allow reasonable personal effects (no liquids, no batteries, no flammables). Always declare and itemise for insurance.
