I have a couple questions about shipping that I am hoping you BIslanders can discuss.
First: If you ship your car to Hawaii, can you cram it full of your belongings to avoid having to ship them separately?
Second:
Has anyone shipped a trailer (such as an Airstream) over from the mainland, or is that dumb? I am wondering if it would be cost-prohibitive (because of size and weight), and also if the climate would destroy a metal home (trailer) so quickly that it would be pointless.
I've been looking around at houses for sale here, and am starting to think I might rather buy a piece of land and then (legally) install a nice refurbished Airstream on it, than pay for a falling-apart existing house.
Thank you for your wisdom.
