Buying a motorhome in the UK for use overseas involves more than arranging transport. The vehicle itself needs to be suitable for its destination, while shipping, documentation and the requirements that apply when it arrives all need to be considered.
Overseas customers can get help with choosing a suitable motorhome and understanding the arrangements involved in taking it from the UK to its intended destination.
The intended destination can be discussed before you choose a vehicle, allowing any factors that could affect its suitability for export to be considered from the outset.
Australia and New Zealand have their own import, compliance and registration requirements, so choosing a motorhome for export needs to take account of more than its UK specification.
Customers considering an export can discuss the vehicle, destination and proposed arrangements before purchasing. The team can also explain the stages involved in preparing the motorhome for export and the checks or documentation that may be required.
Requirements can vary according to the vehicle and destination, so the exact process can be confirmed before any export arrangements are made.
Some overseas customers choose to collect their motorhome in the UK and use it in the UK or Europe before exporting it to their home country.
This gives you time to become familiar with the vehicle before it is shipped, rather than taking delivery for the first time after it arrives overseas. A full handover can be provided when the motorhome is collected, with the subsequent export arrangements discussed in advance.
Customers exporting to Australia or New Zealand can also benefit from established support in the region. Emm-Bee works with contacts who understand the requirements involved in importing and preparing motorhomes for use locally.
Support is available through established contacts in Wellington and Brisbane, providing customers in New Zealand and Australia with access to assistance closer to home during the purchase and export process.
If you’re considering buying a motorhome in the UK for export, get in touch with the country you’re exporting to and, if known, the vehicle or type of motorhome you’re interested in.

Not every motorhome will be equally suitable for every destination. Vehicle dimensions, weight, base vehicle, specification and equipment can all affect the practicalities of importing and using it overseas.
It makes sense to discuss the intended destination before committing to a particular model. The team can help identify suitable vehicles from the available stock and discuss any known considerations relevant to the proposed export.
The UK showroom is at Prettywood, Bury, Greater Manchester, BL9 7HX, less than a mile from Junction 2 of the M66. Overseas customers arranging collection can discuss their visit and vehicle handover with the team in advance.
If you’re considering purchasing a motorhome for export, contact the team before choosing a vehicle. Knowing the destination at the outset makes it easier to discuss suitable motorhomes and the export arrangements that may be required.
Call or send an enquiry to discuss your requirements.
