Importing caravans or motorhomes


Benji

Recommended Posts

I thought about bringing one across a few years back.....But with hotel costs so cheap and available.....Thai roads very unfriendly in angles both climbing and turns, lack of decent choice of tow vehicles versus terrain, no infastructure - parks, hook ups, dump stations.....Lack of service facilities & parts and RV trained techs....Lack of secured storage facilities + they are easy to break into when unattended pretty much told me it would not be a very good idea....

Even having an RV in the states dictates wide open spaces for parking - fueling - turning - resting - shopping - it would be futile here.....

totally agree, could you imagine towing something like a 44ft Montana around Thailand ..... not a holiday but a nightmare .... w00t.gif

Just had a very scary thought....

Imagine a nation full of roads with Thai drivers with RVs/Caravans....

Not bashing - they just haven't had the progression of vehicles or discipline to get used to it....
