Nice hanging out with you again in MOAB, we really enjoyed ourselves. Anyway you know if you ship RORO you can not have anything in the van? It has to be empty inside.

Not ‘empty’. Just nothing showing. They do not cover missing contents.
I verified this with two folks that have shipped roro.
You can stuff as much as you want in closed storage areas. With the high top I can also pull the bed platform all the way forward to the front bulkhead and have an enormous area to stow stuff. Drive a couple wood screws in hidden places to lock it in and Bob’s my uncle.

I'm containerizing my van from the east coast to Dublin next Spring. No conversions made except a set of propane adaptors. Everything runs and charges on 12v from the solar panel and second battery. See you over there!

Sweet. Which port are you shipping out of? (I am 30 minutes from the port at Baltimore. )

Probably Bayonne, NJ. Baltimore is an option too.
