John, Hit up Bruce for any configuration and import questions.
Bruce Loxton <bruce.loxton@kimberleygroup.com.au>
I also looked at South African trailers before I went with Kimberley. I found none of them were willing to convert to US 110VAC and they didn't have the import experience that Kimberley does.
With Kimberley the import experience is smooth as silk.

Another vote for dealing with Kimberley & Bruce. The product is the culmination of years of product development and refinement. And since Bruce bought KK a number of years ago they've been on an aggressive R&D path...all good.
You won't regret buying a KK...especially as Brad mentioned above: They are legal to license in the USA.

I assume you've seen Dutch's Kimberely Karavan listed for sale on EP, yes?
Yeah, I did thanks, I saw his post a few pages back. I saw it and his spec sheet. He definitely has a nice trailer, it is a bit out of my price range, particularly for a used trailer.
The thing is for the classic with the few extra options I want according to the information I found here:
http://www.kimberleygroup.com.au/usa
The total price (calculated from the link above) I am looking at for brand new. Seeing that page with that info is the only reason I am considering this unit, I wouldn't be able to purchase one otherwise. Still waiting to hear back, so I do know exactly how much it costs.

Well look at you camper shopping John...Hopefully you're not planning on dragging it over the Himalayas like someone else here who shall remain nameless...:ylsmoke:

If I had the talent and patience to build my own like some folks, I would go that route
Getting too old to spend weeks in the desert/hills sleeping in the back of my truck. Seeing what Brad has done, I am sold. I just have to make a way to afford it
Well, "afford" has a different meaning for everyone but these can be bought through a basic RV loan .... i.e. $750 monthly payment for $100,000 USD RV loan at 4.25% over 15 yrs. $375/mo for $50k loan, etc. Pay a little extra to knock out the principal and interest much earlier. Insurance is basically attached to the vehicle coverage.
It's dangerously "easy" to do....

I promise to stay away from the Hymalayas and pick more tame routes to find my bliss in the future. :elkgrin:

Agreed. I'm tempted to buy one myself with the current exchange rate, very attractive! However, it's still a chunk of money and I'm really enjoying my slide-in truck camper, not sure I want another trailer. But who knows, I do look at the exchange rate at least once a week.

Healed and ready to play again
I had the damaged fender replaced last week and the new hub/rotor was installed today. That was the last of the carnage repairs.
Ready for the next adventure now.

Looks fantastic Brad. Nice wheel too.
Yeah, some awesome guy helped me score a full set of matching Toyota wheels to my 4Runner. I have no idea who that could have been. :sombrero:

It's no longer for sale. My wife convinced me to keep it; which is really amazing, since she didn't like camping at all before the Karavan.
