Hi. Found this forum.
We have ordered a 2618VS ultra lite. We will travel to the US in March next year to view and then export it home.
Hope to find out lots of info as many things need to be altered for compliance back home.
Cheers
Dennis and Yvonne.

Congrats and welcome to the Forum from a V-Nose owner. This is the place to find information. We are actually going to NZ in March of next year but will be staying in Hotels. Might be crossing the big pond at the same time, just in opposite directions.

Welcome aboard from the central state of Nebraska. Just curious...how much is that going to run you to export it back to NZ ? Company I work for, we do a lot of imports to Aust. and NZ...world wide really and VAT and other charges really add up and we don't ship anything near the size of a trailer.

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. I spent many months in Council Bluffs and Le Mars Iowa and was around Omaha Nebraska as well.
They sell for NZ$98k here as mine as spec’ed. When I’m done mine will be around NZ$65k landed including all taxes and electrical plus gas converted.

Have several quotes for freight from US$30k to the one I have selected at US$8,500 landed in NZ all US documents done. Then NZ$2,800 Local costs then 15%. Tax.

We were just at the Albuquerque International Hot Air Ballon Festival and thought you might get a kick out of this.
