21 foot Class A with Diesel? Does it exist?
Hi all, We currently have a Class C, 21 foot, gas RV based on a Ford platform. A 1994 Shasta. But my wife and I like a lot the "bus" look of the Class A RVs. We don't need more than 21 feet, as it'...

I wonder if there are any German-built Hymers for sale over here....the one at this link is diesel, just about twenty-two feet long, and the steering wheel's even on the right side for North America!
But Germany seems like a long way to go to buy one...;)
RE this and other suggestions about European RVs, self import is a possibility if you can find a shop to do the modification for DOT certification. Last I checked, about 12 years ago, the cost was running $20K to $50K for specialty cars, but those were cars selling in the $500,000 -$2,000,000 range and either not available here or even higher priced on the collectors' auction market.
It is possible to import without DOT certification if the vehicle will not be used on public highways, but it can still be subject to EPA standards for off-road equipment of the same type. Not likely one would import a motorhome to not drive it.
No experience with rules that might be specific to RVs, just passenger vehicles, light trucks, and competition vehicles.
