EuroRV invasion

 The toursit season for European RVs is in full swing, and typically many unusual looking trucks (not to mention RV conversions) can be seem coming through the gates at the Fairview Cove terminal. The vehicles arrive on ships of the Atlantic Container Line and this week's ship, the Atlantic Sky probably had between 25 and 35 RVs from what I could see.


 Outside the gates this morning, after clearing Customs, there were about a dozen more of all shapes and sizes:


Fiat van with Rapido V55 camper conversion.

 

Toyota pickup and ExKab 5S "drop on"


 

Mercedes and Nova LaStrada conversion.

 

Iveco model 55S 17W with Bimobil expedition body.

 

Nissan extended cab pickup with Tisher drop in camper.


Citroen raised roof van conversion.

Some of these trucks may have dealer support in North America, but I suspect most are very far away from service. Many appear to be new, but warrantees don't stretch across the Atlantic. 

Some vehicles don't appear to be RVs exactly, but this Swiss offroader, equipped with a heavy skid plate, immense driving lights and high breather looks ready for some serious back road travel. I hope he finds someplace to ski.
