Shipping RV to Australia from US

re shipping your RV to Australia.
As an Australian with some knowledge of shipping vehicles into and out
of Auz. my advice is DONT.
I have been importing Coaches from Japan for a number of years now to
convert to Motorhomes .
More than likely you would get it to the wharf off the ship and that
would be the end of it you would not be able to get it off the wharf
under its own power. You would not be able to register it in Australia
as it is left hand drive , thats the easy bit to fix , if you want to
know what else let me know I will really put you off.

i shipped a american motorhome [mobile traveler] to belarus last summer. no
problems whatsoever. just had to fill in some forms, and deliver to the
seaport. got a letter from the buyer 6 weeks later saying all was good and
they had just registered it, etc.

What are the laws on driving motorhomes in Australia that are registered in
other
countries? For instance, I've seen a number of European motorhomes driving on
the roads
in the US with their European plates. The owners planned to ship them back home
when
done. I also know of at least one motorhome shipped to Europe and driven with
US plates
over there. Some US states don't require annual inspections for registration,
so in theory,
someone could ship a US motorhome to some other part of the world and continue
registering it in the US for many years.
