The Best Way to Assure Your RV’s Safe International Delivery
Preparing your RV for its international shipping process if the greatest way you can assure its safety. By making sure it leaves in its best condition, you are not only protecting the vehicle but those transporting it overseas.
- Secure all doors, windows, cupboards, drawers, and latches. All artwork and wall hangings should be removed.
- Empty the RV out from all personal or valuable items. The more you remove, the less the RV should weight which will only lessen the money spent on the transport.
- Contact the embassy of the nation you’re shipping the RV too. Make sure you have gathered all requested documentation and proof so that you can earn the clearance from Customs. Otherwise, the RV may get denied access into the country once it arrives.
- Top off all fluids except the fuel. Leave the gas tank at ¼ full or less.
- Disconnect the battery and all electrical and gas powered appliances.
- Fill the tires with air and make sure there aren’t any fluids leaking. You may even want to take the RV into a mechanic for routine maintenance before the transport.
- Make sure all lights are operational and that the hitch and tow bar are properly secured and attached.
- Take pictures of the RV’s exterior and interior. This is proof of the vehicle’s condition before the transport. This may come in handy if an insurance claim must be filed.
