Default Ford F Series Winnebago conversion

Hi I have a mate who is looking at importing a Winnebago and was wondering what costs were involved in RH drive conversion.

Who does this in Melbourne?

Has anyone ever done this?

Thanks

How old is it?
If its 'newer' you need to get it professionally changed over and engineered, which you can expect around the $15000 - $25000 mark.
If its an 'older' truck, you can do it yourself and then have it assessed (engineered).
Over 30 years old and it can stay LHD in Victoria.

You will need to consult Vicroads about what is considered 'newer' and 'older' as i cant recall from the top of my head.
