How Much Would It Cost To Ship A Travel Trailer To Australia?

Hi,
We have been looking to buy a Travel Trailer and were looking on eBay.com. In the USA you seem to have newer and better quality travel trailers with more extras but at a much cheaper price than we can purchase in Australia.
Recently I saw a 2003 Coleman Caravan 25B with a bunk house 5 berth with shower and toilet sell in Alexandria, KY for AUS $9000.00; here (Australia) it would have cost $40,000.00 plus. Is it worthwhile buying one in the USA and shipping it to Australia?
Thanks
PS your site is great.

Anyway, please post your findings. Thanks.

shipping trailer to Oz? by: Anonymous
Hi Fiona,
Did you ever find out about the feasibility of purchasing in the States and shipping to Australia? We're currently in the States and are thinking of moving back to Australia. We'd like to purchase a trailer here and ship it back, but there's all the issues with the door being on the wrong side, the voltage with appliances, etc. Have you found out anything interesting?
