Peter, Luke Paisier is concerned about taking his Syncro camper from USA to Australia where, rather rediculously, vehicles with left hand drive (as in USA, mailand Europe, etc) are not permitted (unless the vehicle is only temporarily brought in as a tourist's vehicle). I know it doesn't really matter and there are some advantages to having the steering on the 'wrong' side but that is the law in Australia. There is an exemption now for vehicles over 30 years old but Luke's Westfalia is not that old. However, as I now understand his car is not actually a "Westfalia" but some other American conversion, I don't think it is worth him taking the trouble of shipping it home to Australia.
