Had an incident with the Landy and a caravan which meant the Landy on its side so need a new n/s so is buying a tub a better option - side and rear are crushed. its an 88 SW and one on flea but how do I get it home?

Could collect in the Landy but the wheel isn't straight and still going through the insurer so can't drive it. No other vehicle with a towbar.
 
I would pay shipping if all else fails, it may not be that much if you are not in a hurry. A few years back I got a car from Scunthorp to Slough for around £200 (say 400 now) but it came as a series of return loads and took a week. Will the insurer pay? Cheapest option is to hire a van and do the whole trip in a day. Probably under £50.
 
Its gone now but may need to plan ahead more next time. Not sure what I need yet as its the n/s rear wing and the rear panel so unsure if I just change them or a tub change is a better option. Not too concerned about the roof and sides as was going canvas anyway so now is an ideal time to do that.
 
I carried a 109 dormobile roof complete around the m25 on top of an estate Merc. Kept the sunroof open so I could see if it moved!
 
chap that picked up the tub I was sold a few years ago just put a blanket on the roof with the tub upside down on top of that. Couple of ratchet straps through the open windows and away he went. Might not be the best method but if you take it easy and are sensible would be do-able if nothing else comes up.
