Listees,

Has anyone researched a carrier on which a couple could accompany a
Vanagon on a trans Atlantic voyage in a drive on-drive off arrangement
rather than to ship the vehicle in a container and fly to meet it?

I've been warned that in too many cases, unless the vehicle is sealed in
a container, in many cases, it arrived stripped or looted, or both.

We're looking to travel either this spring, or next.
