I wish i wouldnt have gotten involved in the shipping part and just done this, now im risking losing it.
Haha did he buy a RV and suddenly realize he cant drive it to Hawaii?
rob, just let the guy know that if he needs an rv in hawaii, he’s gonna pay for it whether it’s through you or someone else. the bottom line is he’s gonna be paying shipping on this thing one way or another. buying in hawaii will be just as expensive, and it sounds like he needs it for his cross country trip.
well he is buying it for his son who lives there since he currently pays his rent in his house that he lives in, because his son is an “aspiring landscaper”.
He was planning to drive this cross country while sight seeing, take advantage of it while they had it and then upon arrival in San Francisco, ship it over to hawaii for his son to live in.
He thought the cost to ship would be much less that $8500, i made the mistake of telling him I would look into shipping costs, now hes expecting me to do all the work.
how much is paying for this RV?
How much does it cost for a container? Would it fit?
for reference, this is a 30’ RV
are there any dealers on Maui? Can you call them and ask how they get theirs over there?
no, its a travel trailer, not a motorhome. RV= Recreational Vehicle, not just motorized.
and he is paying roughly 15k for it, cash deal. He was looking at a 30’ toy hauler brand new, but i downsold him to this particular one to cut the costs in order to include shipping/insurance.
i cant imagine the cost of fuel from here to CA/insurance/shipping overseas, etc etc… to cost less than just buying in CA and shipping or just buying in Hawaii to buying in buffalo. Ya know?
i bet you if you buy over there, the cost of transport is already in the cost. This guy isnt the smartest. I hate when I open my mouth tryng to be helpful and it bites me in the ass.
give me info:
weight
approx dims
value for insurance reasons
etc…
we wanna see what we could do it for.
well they want to sight see, thats why they are driving it over there. It’s not looking too good for him though, I’m not gonna be able to help him out on the shipping end of it.
It’s just too costly and frankly, he should tell his son to start paying his own damn rent and get a real job.
