The problems are cost and Type Approval. Apart from shipping, you have 10.4% duty plus 17.5% VAT to pay based on the value of the RV, not the invoice price so forget about getting a dodgy invoice. Then to get the vehicle registered it must be approved for UK roads, you may be able to get a type approval cert from the manufacturers but if it is a model they never sold in the UK then unlikely. Then you have a real problem finding someone to insure it. Good luck!

Check with the DVLA.
You may find that the vehicle is 4 inches too long.
Not sure if its due to the type of licence you will need to drive it on British roads.
Or some other idea they got.
Oh yes...You will need to make sure it has ORANGE indicator lenses...not RED.
RED is an MOT failure in the UK

The biggest pain would be the small roads and the large vehicle with the lefthand drive setup. Unless you are planning a Euro vacation.

It's easy but expensive. Shipping plus 15% tax if it's second hand plus registration fees and probably a VOSA MOT test at a VOSA HGV testing station.

It's easy, but you couldn't use it there because they have a different system than in the U.S.
