Was curious what the experience of other builders has been with building and shipping RV parts and pieces over seas. I am interested in finding out information as work will be taking me to Peru, South America for a number of years. Have two main questions.
1) How does the sheetmetal hold up during the shipping process. I would imagine that even in a container the salty sea air would induce some corrosion? Have others had experience with this while shipping by sea?
2) Second question is what am I going to call the thing when it comes through customs? It is not an airplane... it is pieces of an airplane. Would imagine that "airplane" parts have a higher duty than just "sraps of aluminum". Any thoughts?
