Shipping our van across the ocean (RoRo shipping our DIY camper van Canada to Europe)

We shipped our 2020 Ford Transit Camper van from North America to Europe on a RoRo vessel, and I'm sharing our experience.

In January 2022, we loaded our van in Halifax, Canada onto the Atlantic Sun, a Roll-on, Roll-off vessel that transports vehicles across the ocean. Two weeks later, we were driving around Europe!

In this video, I break down the entire experience from start to end, including our top-4 things we'd change next time.

We hope this helps you out!
