At that time I asked them about the Sherpas system, which they did not know, but they offered to inquire at REIMO and get a price. Now that I know the thing will fit on the Westy I think about asking them to get a price quote. Otherwise I guess the German price plus FedEx-charges plus Customs may be cheaper.... REIMO usually does not send to the U.S. but that can be dealt with. Maybe someone else is interested and we can get a mass discount....
Cheers Chris >> Chris and others. Reimo will not ship direct to the US, you must order through us, (EuroCampers). The good news is that I consolidate my shipments and this saves you money over trying to ship by UPS or another shipper. Regarding the tents, be careful about ordering a tent that you have not seen or know much about. The large tunnel tents are not currently available to ship to the US, as they do not meet requirements for US customs. You could bring one back yourself, and this may be the only way to import one. Shipping and import fees add about $100 to the price of a tent. If you bring one in yourself, you are limited to $250 in textiles, but this is not usually enforced. These tents are a bit of a pain to setup, and do not have the greatest ventilation. I can let you know when Reimo expects to have the Sherpas back in stock.
