Shipping an airstream from Tennessee to Australia

[dinooz]

Hi,

We are looking into buying a vintage airstream international 31 ' from Tennessee, USA. Can anyone please share their experience in shipping a trailer from US to Australia? Any advice will be appreciated.

Regards,

We sold our '59 to a family that shipped it Australia last year where they are now restoring it. I was not directly involved in the shipping logistics, but it did take quite a bit of paperwork and time. If you are interested, I would be happy to pass your contact information to the gentleman who did this. The family is really great and may be willing to share their experience with you.

Hi Patman,

That will be very helpful if you could pass on the contact information of the Australian family.

Happy to do so! Have to figure out how to send a private message from the app....

My advice is first find someone with experience international shipping of Airstream trailers. No matter how helpful any of us may want to be, you need someone who has done this any times. (That is not me.) P&S Trailer Services in Helena, OH has extensive experience restoring AS and has shipped many of them to the Middle East and Europe. I do not know about their experience shipping to Australia, Asia or the Far East. They are honest and you can contact via the internet www.pandstrailerservices.com or by telephone. See what they have to say an email or telephone call will give you some place to start.

These people have all imported Airstreams to Australia from the US.

P&S Trailer Service in Helena Ohio ship older (narrow body) Airstreams to Europe on a regular basis. Google and get their number. They have always been helpful to me.
