- donn0128Explorer IIMet a couple from Germany this past summer who were traveling for a year. They bought a truck and trailer and planned to sell it when they left in October. With shipping costs, import taxes, voltage changes and miscellaneous charges it might be cost effective to buy and then resell one from the U.S.

As I do not have A/C in my car (execpt while driving), I don't plan on connecting to any external electricity. I have my own 12V and 230V System on board.

There are no import taxes, as I will take the car back home again. I love my car, that is optimized to my needs. I don't want to use another one.
Peter - NewsWExplorerBe sure you get the following issues squared away:
- import / operating certification
- insurance / license
Do Canada / US allow temporary imports from Europe?
I don't have a clue.. I hope the paperwork is not too onerous.
Welcome! - wsfurrieExplorerI talked to a couple from Germany last summer. They have made several trips here with their RV. They claimed that they had much less trouble when coming into Halifax. Apparently in this case our red tape is worse than the Canadian.
Wayne - mlts22ExplorerI wish we in the US could import Mercedes Sprinters from Europe. I'd love to have four wheel drive for starters, or the V-12 engine that Mexican Sprinters sport.
