Hi all, I feel like this could be one of those "open a can of worms" discussions, but here goes LOL... I am looking for general advice about importing an RV from America. Good news is I already own the RV and have done for 12 months, so no import tax right? (I live in Michigan at the moment, moving back in June). What else do I have to worry about before I can enjoy RVing back in Blighty? Power is a major one, is it fairly simple to hook up a step-down transformer between the campsite 240V power outlet and my RV's 110V power in? Also, I assume the gas & water connectors will need converting to metric threads somehow. Is this all fairly painless, any major expense involved there and is there anything I'm forgetting?
Back story to this is we got the RV bug living here in the US for the past year and a half, economy is really bad here now so doubt we'll get much for the RV, plus we love it to bits even though it's really old (1990 Tioga Montara on a Ford chassis). The size is 22' so should be ideal for chugging around British/European roads I would think. Not looking forward to paying $8/gallon for petrol though *shudders*
. Would really appreciate any advice to help us decide whether to even go down this road.
Thanks all!
