Same goes for the Australia RV's... They produce some extreme serious OFF-ROAD RV units... I wish there was an easy way to get some of those here...

They too are geared for 220V power and drive on the other side of the road....
You can get away pretty easy by installing a step-up primary transformer but having all your doors and utilities on the other side would definitely be a hugh problem...
I remember all of the standards issues with automobils back in my 50s-60s days serving my country in Germany... The Russian made diesel engine where the worse of the lot back in those days... Best way out was to rig up an over-the-mtn crash and letting the insurance money get you an american made vehicle hehe... Just joking of course...
They was pushing buying a new American made car when you first got over there and having it paid off and picking up a brand new car in NJ when you got off your airplane coming home... Thats where my 63 all black 409 Impala SS Convertible came from haha... That puppy would bring the front wheels off the ground when popping the clutch...
I left NJ with a full tank of gas and just a few dollars in my pocket and made it all the way to the IN/ILL state line. Told my sad story to the gas station there and they filled me up because I was Military returning home from Europe. I was only 150Miles away from home so I went right back to pay them back in a couple of days and they would not take any money from me hehe... This was back in 1963...
