Do you have any idea how bulky these things are?
Its gonna be tough to get one on an airplane (and I've brought bumpers,
exhaust crossover pipes, dashboards, Westy footstools, Westfalia
towbars).
Shipping is gonna be a major problem.

Also Paulchens are totally overprices, even in Germany. Its rediculous.

If you still can't resist it, I can get you a contact address in
Germany. Mail me and expect big $.
