I think I was lucky.
The lady who sold it to me had gone through some issues with people who tried to scam her on the sale of the caravan.
She was very helpful, and was willing to work with a person from overseas. She also lives part of the year in another country so she was quite knowledgeable about the world outside the USA, plus she has an affection of Aussies! She follows the tennis!
We are now good friends, and in the near future will visit me here in OZ!
The Australian company helping to import the caravan, were also amazing. Especially with there people in the USA. I wouldn't have been able to get the caravan here if it wasn't for them. Even the lady who I bought the Caravan said, the man she dealt with was an asset to the company.
When the caravan arrived hear in Australia, I wasn't too sure who I would get to work on it. I rang a caravan refrigeration place who recommended Simpson's caravans in
Melbourne. I can not speak more highly of them. They are a family business of over 30 years, and they have a passion for anything vintage. They understood what it meant to keep the caravan as original as possible, and their workmanship and turn around time was outstanding.
And to top it off a VIC roads, we had a few hiccups, but again, I was so lucky with the inspector. He bent over backwards to allow us to fix the problem . Simpson's caravans drove to VIC roads and sorted the problem onsite, which turned out to be the towing vehicle, not the caravan.
Maybe it was luck or maybe I am a good judge of character!
I have no regrets, and would consider doing it again, even though it was a lot of work!
