Frequently Asked Questions

---

1) Why buy American instead of European?
American motorhomes are bigger, more comfortable and sustainably built.

2) What do American campers cost?
Our units range anywhere from 15.000 to 60.000 euros.

3) How do these amounts come together?
Prices consist of: purchase, professional check-up and repair where needed and a range of adjustments and alterations to make the vehicle compliant with European laws and regulations. Other significant costs come from shipping, exporting, importing, customs, handling, RDW inspection inspection and if asked for LPG conversion.

4) Will I be able to drive a classic motorhome with a regular license?
A B-license is sufficient when not exceeding 3.500 kilogrammes for most parts of the European continent, except for The Netherlands. Dutch law states that vehicles of this proportion, weighing between 3.500 and 7.500 kilogrammes, can only be driven by holders of a C-license. However, Dutch law will very likely be altered to comply with the European standard. Actions to do so were already taken during the summer of 2008. We will make sure to inform you if anything should change.

5) American campers are usually powered by v8 engines. How about fuel-efficiency?
Our units were originally fitted with power generators for self-sufficient camping. These power generators are seldomly used in Europe and therefore if asked for can be professionally removed from their compartments. The space that becomes available afterwards leaves enough room for even more luggage or when wished for, to host an average to fullsize LPG tank. LPG is today's most environmentally friendly and cost-effective fuel and is available throughout the European continent.

6) Why does USCamper only offer units of 15 years old and over?
Over the years we have grown a love for certain makes and models. Mainly because of their overall looks and beautiful designs and finishes. Of course the fact that this makes for very low insurance and absolutely zero road taxes doesn't hurt either!

7) Where can I get service for my classic American motorhome?
There are lots of garages and mechanics that are specialized in working on American classics. A regular tune up for your beloved camping companion will be no problem. Besides, the engines used in these vehicles are all wellknown and taken from long-running American classic car ranges. Spare parts are therefore easy to come by.

8) The electricity network in the United States is based on 110 volts. Can I use my regular European appliances?
All units can be fitted with one one or more converters depending on the amount of power thats is asked for when camping. A complete conversion from 110/120 Volt to 220/230 Volt also can be done. Whatever your choice is going to be, using your everyday appliances will be no problem. Most of today's camping equipment is based on 12 volts anyway. In the US that's no different.

9) USCamper offers units in a range from 19 to 36 feet which comes down to 5,80 to 11 meters. Can I stay at any European campground?
An average car/caravan combination adds up to at least 10 meters and is usually admitted to any campground in Europe. It goes without saying that making reservations in advance is always advisable. Most campgrounds have separate spaces for campers which also come with direct attachments for electricity and water.

10) Can I replace the original built-in appliances with more modern ones?
Yes you can, but keep in mind that sizes and volumes may differ from those of European models. It is also possible to have custom frames made for covering up any differences in size, should they occur. In our case, the main goal is to stick close to original shapes and sizes. Authenticity in overall appearance can be very rewarding!
