[stevenmd]

Can I send a money order for tickets? PayPal and I don't get along very well... plus I pay cash for everything...

Also, I am going to take the liberty of posting this on www.lrrforums.com if that is ok with you - more exposure!:wings:

[LJRockstar]

I'm in! You can ship the trailer to me on the road! :wings:

[Jonathan Hanson]

Steve, a money order is fine. Once we have it then I can report your suspicious lifestyle to the proper authorities.

By all means please spread the word, and thanks.

[Ursidae69]

Great raffle for a great cause. :wings: I'm not sure I can wait until March 08 though, the suspense will be too much!

LOL... hey wait a minute... you live off the grid too...:sport_box I pay cash b/c I have almost all my debt paid off - well, except for those d*mn student loans... I think I will be 50 before those are paid off!:shakin:

[Willman]

What a great deal!!!!!

This is a great cause!!!!

[adventureduo]

Sweet!!!! Donating as we speak!

Can i request a free ticket? LOL

" 5. Suggested donation is $20 per ticket. Donations are tax-deductible. There is a limit of 10 tickets per person. Free ticket available upon request."

Typo: it's EASTER jeep safari.. not East Jeep Safari - Just thought you might wanna change it.

Your funny!!!!

Ditto as well!!!

:chowtime:

[Monkeyboy]

Wow!

As long as I can pick it up a couple of days after April 15th, I'm in!

... blasted tax clients anyway ;)

[Jonathan Hanson]

Free tickets are indeed available, from a guy named Scott who will be idly swinging a Hi-Lift jack handle when you ask.

Seriously, in order to make the raffle legal in all states we had to make the price a donation.

So far no one has asked. We hang out with good people.

I thought you hired Achille to take care of that end of things?

I'll send you a check.....

[MaddBaggins]

I sent a donation. I saw that in the fine print about free tickets. I'd hate to be the guy who actually asks for one. You know someone will...

[Boston Mangler]

So far no one has asked. We hang out with good people.

Leave it to Dave! :)

Kudos to Mario and Paul for their donations!

[taco2go]

Donation sent.

[Scott Brady]

Thanks to all those who are donating. Roseann is one of the hardest working and committed people I know, and her efforts to preserve the indigenous peoples and wild places at the hub of human life is commendable and deserves our support.

[Scott Brady]

Thread moved to general discussion for awareness. A great cause worth our support. :jumping:

[haven]

I'm in! The trailer will work well behind my LX450.

[DesertRose]

Thanks so much everyone - this is just making me feel so humbled, all your great support.

I am in Kenya right now (and just got back from Tanzania), and though I can't go into huge detail right now, I can report that there are FANTASTIC things happening with our partnerships right now and will soon be great opportunities for overlanders to get involved even more with some amazing projects starting up in the South Rift. Everyone here - the Maasai communities I work with, that is - are as excited about your interest and support as you are in supporting them!

Asante sana - kwaheri!

Roseann

[vengeful]

Wow...great cause! I'll send my donation in once the rent clears out! :rappel:

[Willman]

Thanks guys!!! Got my tickets!!!! Thanks for your hard work!!!! Let me know if i can help at all.......

[MaddBaggins]

You all can stop worrying about the tickets, just donate the money. I already have the winning ticket locked up safe at home :wings:

Thanks Roseann!

[teotwaki]

I bought one just to help the cause. If I actually won I'd be shocked... :wings:

[vengeful]

Donation sent. Good luck to all in the runnings, and many thanks for helping to support a wonderful cause. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! :wings:

[p1michaud]

I'd like to support the African Conversation Fund and take the chance of rolling home with a new trailer in tow.

Does anyone know if the contest is open to everyone? Nothing mentionned in the rules.

Thanks,
P

[Jonathan Hanson]

Certainly! Transportation and import duties (?) are up to you, of course.

Certainly! Transportation and import duties (?) are up to you, of course.

For our Canadian friends, AT is certified by Transport Canada, all of our trailers are pre approved for importation. So the Canadian Federal regulations are met.

AT trailers also qualify as a NAFTA import so there are no duties or taxes upon importation. The exception to this is the tent.

You can import the trailer as a personal import and do the customs clearance yourself, or employ the services of a customs broker.

AT can provide logistical assistance to the winner if they require shipping in North America.

As for the rest of the world, AT can provide assistance to the winner if they wanted to export the trailer. We have considerable experience in this area and have great contacts in the shipping, crating and documentation areas.

[Ursidae69]

You guys are seriously a top-notch organization. I have nothing but respect for Adventure Trailers because of the quality of your products and the organizations you support. :beer:

I'm with Chuck.

Incidentally, I was totally impressed with the way the trailer rode on the way back from Prescott. There wasn't much in it, so we lowered the pressure in the air bags and it floated smoothly over everything from interstate to our dirt washboard. No wild bouncing around like with most empty heavy duty trailers. Load it back up, bump up the bags again, and it'll ride the same full of gear.

Big thanks for the information gents. My donation has been sent!
I've never imported a trailer or vehicle personally but from what I understand it's an easy process. My co-worker just imported a car with no problem and he had never done it before.

Thanks for the offer of support! :victory:

Cheers :beer:,
