We are currently in Katima Mulilo in Namibia.
Our plans are changing and it now looks like we'll have to return to UK for a while quite urgently, but we don't want to cancel the trip and ship the vehicle home!
The truck entered SA via sea in May on a UK carnet and hasn't left SACU as yet.
We are hoping to store it in secure facilities in Windhoek and return to continue next June/July.

The issue that worries me most (particularly seeing Neil's posts) is how best to renew/extend the carnet.
From what I understand, not only does the carnet have a "clock ticking" (1 year), but SACU themselves won't normally allow a vehicle to remain in SACU-land for more than 1 year.
As we're in KM, we could pop over into Zam to "fix" this last problem, but it would still leave the carnet issue.

Has aanyone any experience extending/renewing their carnet in SACU, or will I have to return in May to do a "quick" (it's a Unimog - hahaha) trip to Zam?
Would it be worthwhile to pop over into Zam now or would this be a total waste of time/money/stress?

I've asked the RAC for their definitive answer, but not a single reply all week until I emailed Paul McGowan personally, he's told me that he's now working elsewhere and I'll have to wait for the carnet dept...... Oh dear!

Thanks, Ian
