Hi-was wondering if anyone here knows of anyone who has ever exported a Trailer such as an Airstream into the DR from the States via Ocean Shipping? This trailer would be in the name of a Dominican Citizen, not titled in a US Citizen's name. This is NOT a Motorized Vehicle I would add. The purpose of this transaction would be to park it on a person's private lot and to reside in it part of the year. I did a lot of searches here but came up dry. Any Opinions?? This is done frequently in Mexico without problem or complications as many Retired americans cross daily into Mexico towing their Airstreams with them. This isn't an option from Miami to the DR, obvoiusly.

I have to say that this is a creative idea if you can pull it off without taking too high a tariff hit. I've spent some time in an Airstream, and can attest that it is not exactly "roughing it". You'd have propane stove and fridge, AC, and a built-in planta.
