Coachman Pursuit30fw
Just a few words to introduce. We bought a 2016 Coachman Pursuit 30fw when we lived in Houston and after leaving in 2019 the plan was after settling in the UK to return and do one final road trip and then ship it back to the UK. Long story short it has arrived on UK shores ready to start again As we live in the wilds of West Wales, getting the correct MOT and registration sorted will take time.

I will be asking for a lot of information so to start, if anyone knows of a suitable company or person that owns a similar RV and knows the way it would be most appreciated

A few years.
Find a vehicle importer ask who they use for registration, adjustment for driving on the right and MoT. Once that has been done you can apply for a reg number and you are done. Non European approved vehicles have to have an in depth type approval test also.

Thanks. The Importer that I used didn't provide that service

Nice. I'd be thinking about whether you can get a massive LPG tank underslung on that to run that thirsty V10 Triton!

Remember also, that it is wider than the normal permitted width for UK roads. You need to apply for a specific exemption which exists for US built RVs that allows up to 2.6m, instead of the normal 2.55m max.

Nice van, we had a van that size when we lived in Wales. It makes for interesting trips. But we would navigate even Pembrokshire's narrow roads and park by the beaches. You will get it most anywhere, but you need to plan ahead.

Drivers of wide vans often say that If the skip lorry or School bus can get there so can I, and you will. But, if you meet the skip lorry or school bus on route, it can get intereting. :D Exciting times, have fun and Welcome (y)
