Sportsmobile - Canada?

[Rizzo]

Hey Overlanders,

Does anyone know if you can import the sportsmobile adventure rigs into Canada? If yes, how?
If no, does anyone know about any other options preferably in British Columbia Canada?

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much,
Rizzo

Canadian Importation rules are vague... You have different diesel laws, GVW, etc. I would visit with the Regions Transportation Management, DMV peoples, to gain clarification. I know that Ford, Chevy and Mercedes has a presence in BC, but I don't know if they will allow you to register an Engine/Transmission - that was developed for California and not sold in Canada... Just my thoughts, DG.

Call the CBSA business line and ask them to check the regulations. I can't recall exactly, but I believe that camper conversions are inadmissible to Canada, unfortunately, as per Transport Canada regs.

Thank you gentlemen! Greatly appreciated. I’m going to give Sportsmobile a call as well and post my findings here. I was hoping that of being classified as an RV it might pass. Cheers!
