I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my imported camper from the USA - it's arriving in Derbyshire in a few weeks. As I'll need to get the camper MOT'd and various other things before I take it on the road, I'm looking for a transportation company to transport it from Derbyshire to Exeter for me. Does anybody know of any companies they could recommend? Cheers.
i used a website called www.shiply.com they bid against each other and you accept the bid that suits.
i used shiply .. a reverse auction for your job, i had mine moved from southampton to northampton for £125 the driver rang me b4 he picked it up then called me b4 he arrived no problems at all,

Another vote for automove http://www.automove.uk.com/ Phil's a sound chap based in North Manchester, he's also VW mad so would look after your bus. Seemed pretty reasonable too when I priced up a job.
Wow, thanks everyone. Very helpful. I've emailed all of your suggestions so I'll see who comes back with the best price. Cheers!
I moved mine from the docks to home using Shiply, which was cheap. At the time, I wasn't that concerned about the 'quality' of the job as it was pre-restoration anyway. I have since used a guy called Rod Tinnion to move the semi-completed van around and would recommend him highly. He specialises in classics and is incredibly careful with your pride and joy. http://www.rodtinnion.co.uk/ He is very unlikely to beat Shiply on price though.
