Can Mercedes camper vans, from the old Hanomag to the new Marco Polo, be imported into the U.S.?
I would very much like to find one of the diesel campers for use here in the U.S.
Thanks!

from Mercedes-Benz re: importing a Viano Marco Polo Westfalia Van from Europe:
At this point in time Mercedes-Benz will not be offering the Viano Marco Polo Westfalia Van on the US Market in the immediate future. Please be assured your comments and interest in this vehicle have been noted. Importing a European (non-conforming) model is not recommended for some of the following reasons:
Doesn't sound good, but thanks very much for the information.
Very expensive job and modifications... I hear they run up to $20,000 for such a job
I was hoping to find an old Hanomag. There was one on eBay a few months ago, but they're rare, of course. I wouldn't go to the trouble of modifying a cargo van.
Thanks for the information, though.
Sprinter is too big?
Mmm.... just saw the Vito Marco Polo you were talking about... looks like a minivan platform instead of a van. Reminds me of that Volkswagen camper van.
I am wondering why MB is not selling their Vito in US... would have knocked off all those minivan off the market in US... but then again... maybe not... too competitive.
That's what I liked about the Hanomag--much bigger interior than VW camper van, plus diesel power.
