We were planning to come over to the USA and buy a fifth wheel and tow vehicle. Then tour around the USA for 3 to 6 months. When finished our USA holiday, sell the tow vehicle and ship the fifth wheel back to Australia where we will continue touring. If we can get a fifth wheel with a rear or left hand door as well as a 110/240volt compliant electrical wiring. It is a lot easier just to change the appliances to meet Australian Standards. Rather than the drama of rewiring the whole fifth wheel. I hope this explains further our motives. Thanks for your insight, and have a great weekend. Cheers, Rod.,

From what I've read from some Down Under posters, the cost of converting it to Australian standards might be more than you want to spend. I think the import taxes might be fairly high, too. Look up user RobertRyan and send him a private message. He seems to be very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of FW conversions to OZ standards. It's not just doors and power; there's propane issues, too, I believe. Frankly, I think you might be money ahead to buy a nice used FW here, sell it before you leave and buy one when you get back home.

Yes there has been a quite few articles on the suitability of imported vehicle from NA or Europe in the Caravanners Forum. Search for importing fifth wheelers.
