Shipping RV to Australia from US

[davidkerryedwards]

What are the laws on driving motorhomes in Australia that are registered in
other
countries? For instance, I've seen a number of European motorhomes driving on
the roads
in the US with their European plates. The owners planned to ship them back home
when
done. I also know of at least one motorhome shipped to Europe and driven with
US plates
over there. Some US states don't require annual inspections for registration,
so in theory,
someone could ship a US motorhome to some other part of the world and continue
registering it in the US for many years.
