<< I´ve called Eurocampers the other day regarding

a bus tent, but they had only small tents, so I bring a real big bus tent (ca

4,5 x 3,5 meters, tunnel-style) in July for 280 US$ from Germany instead of

buying a small one for US$ 350.- here. 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....

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.
