MAN truck Overlander 4x4 ready to go

In September 2011 there will be an end to our great journey through North America. Many good experiences we have seen with our MAN 630. Our converted army truck will have driven 40000 km in North America. From Halifax to Vancouver and from Phoenix to Alaska.
The truck will be available at Calgary or an other place in the surrouding agreed between the buyer and seller. All cost for transportation are on the buyers expenses.
The vehicle is temporarly imported and insured in North Amercia.
The truck was converted in Belgium and adjusted to a robust, self maintained mobile home.
A new ‘original' engine was installed. Brakes were replaced, axes were opened and examined. We didn't have one problem up till now.
The truck is fully equipped. There is a kitchen with two burners, a bathroom with shower, toilet and sink, a dining table with fixed benches and two bunk beds. Only in a few minutes, the dining table and overhead storage area can be converted into two extra beds.
There is hot and cold water in the kitchen and bathroom. Hot water is made with the radiator circulation and a boiler.
Above the fridge (standard) and a pantry is a large spreadsheet.
3 solarpanels, 2 x 12 volt batteries and the necessary converters provide enough power for the refrigerator, the lights of the interior and all electronic equipment for charging.
Indoor, all lights are at 220 V and a separate ‘spare' circuit is on 12 V.
The front cabin is equipped with specially laminated and colored glass. On the cab are two extra headlights.
The after part of the truck is a large storage area. Spare parts are stored in that area.
The truck has three fuel tanks by a pipe system connected. A total of 1300 liters of fuel can be transported.
Many kilometer of gravel slipped under the wheels of the MAN. An important asset is the use of high wheels, so high ground clearance is obtainded. That is why we often camped on not so obvious and harder to reach places.
His frontal view is so special that it is an attraction for everyone. People spontaneously discover and want to know more about the vehicle and the passagers.
Campsites are only neccesary to save fresh water or discharge dirty water.
Our house stock is included.
Our MAN truck has a 220 volts socket outside, with a special adapter the whole electrical installation can be put on 110 volts.
The truck has a 6 cylinder multifuel engine and a switchable 4x4 system. The gearbox is equipped with a low and high speed mechanisme, each with six gears.
On the roof are solar panels, 2 spare wheels and the water tank. There is still enough room for extra luggage. By the end of our trip, the truck will have 200000 km on the odometer but the motor will only have 40000 km...

It might be helpful if the legal situation of the truck were clarified. Does it need to be exported from Canada by a certain date regardless of who owns it? Does it need to be exported before it can be legally imported to Canada? Can it be legally exported from Canada to the USA by another owner?
 
The truck is registrated in Belgium. What I know from costums in Alaska is : we are allowed, us tourists, to travel with it in Canada and the US us long us the vehicle do not stay more than one year in the country. If we cross the border for one day and we come back, than we can stay again for one year. Crossing the border should never be a problem for us. The vehicle does not have to be exported before it can be imported again. The registration papers and a prove of ownership (bill) must be shown to costums. The buyer has to pay taxes and it is imported. The new owner f.e. Canadian can after importing in Canada export the vehicle to a US state depending on special rules in a particulary state. This is what they told us on the Alaska border.

I spoke to a UK couple recently who saw this truck in BC, and they said it was truly amazing in person.

The paperwork might be a challenge, (not sure if there is a carnet) but for the capability of this truck, for this price, I think it would be worth jumping through a few hoops.

Heck, I am tempted to get a PO box in Belgium if that would help.

But, as I just bought another old European truck yesterday... my better half says no to this one.
