Hi Jan, If you come to the East Coast then maybe my posting would be of some interest http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php?topic=50569.msg468305;topicseen#msg468305

I note that imported motorhomes will be subject to the new IVA regulations from 29th April. Anyone have any views on how this will affect matters? See https://online.businesslink.gov.uk/Transport_files/IVA_Information_Guide_V3_0111.pdf

Hi Fred, Thanks for the information. I will certainly contact this company. Did you imply that you were allowed to ship stuff inside your vehicle. I had heard previously from somewhere that this was not allowed by one shipping company whose name I forget. We certainly have gathered a fair...

The time is approaching when I will have to start making arrangements to ship my motorhome back to the UK, or at least seeing whether it is worthwhile. I have searched all the posts and gained much valuable information and have come accross one shipping company Trans Global  - ...

Dear All, I want to store my 36ft RV in the New Orleans area for a week in March 2009. Can anyone advise of a suitable location that would accept such an arrangement. Thanks in advance. Al

Looking for some advice/information from the technically minded. Just started our second six month tour of the USA three weeks ago and are having to do a bit of night driving. I am finding the driving lights on my RV are less than perfect for seeing properly. The left one seems to be too high...

All paperwork done and dusted. Plates fixed to vehicle and we are enjoying our trip. No problem at all.

Damon Daybreask 2008. Now insured and registered just awaiting delivery of our Montana plates.

The article says nothing about whether the vehicle was registered in the UK. If it was then surely it was legal; if it wasn't then perhaps they oughtn't have bought it. Any one know the answer to this?

Nathan, Well we have managed to purchase our rig. It is registered temporarily in Ohio where we bought it, or rather our Montana LLC bought it. It is now in process  of being registered through our LLC in Montana and we should get all the paperwork and the plates through in a week or so. Not...

I can confirm Jeff's reply. I contacted Oregon Vehicle registation section and they said a drivers license is a must and you cannot get that without a fixed residence. They were not very helpful in finding a way around their regulations for a foreign national who wants to support Oregon trade by...

Hi All Again, Thanks for all your advice so far but I said I might have a few more questions so here goes - hope someone can help. I am seriously considering the Montana LLC route but If I buy in say Texas can I take delivery there and then register in Montana having previously set up my LLC...

Tom, What a great idea! Why didn't I think of it - easier than learning foreign languages. Al
