Storing a vehicle in Southern Africa
We're reviewing our plans as we may need to break our journey and spend some months back in UK
 . We're curenntly in northern Namibia and are considering leaving the vehicle (Unimog) either here or somewhere in SA for 6 to 9 months before heading north again.Has anyone any experience doing this - what are the issues? (the current carnet is good to next May but would have to be extended somehow) Ian

No issues at all, I have used U-Store it a couple of times, there is one right next to the CPT airport.
Cheers

I have stored my landorver outside windhoek near the airport on a farm. They have about 90 vehicles in their lock ups and prices are very reasonble, they also have a camp site and will drive you to the airport. If you want their info let me know

Storage in Souther Africa
Two places I can recommend for Cape Town
1) Roverland R300 / month. Also good for servicing your car too - we have used them 2) car shipping from South Africa | Camping in Cape Town | Cape Town Backpackers | vehicle storage Cape Town | Freight forwarder South Africa | overland Africa | African Overlanders | accommodation in Cape Town offer similar service - also a camping and shipping.

Thanks to all for your suggestions, I found a facility near Windhoek where I've been able to store it in a closed, locked, alarmed, securised building for reasonable money.
My only query at the moment is the Cross Border Charges (Mass Distance) - we've got a x-border permit (3 months) that runs out in December. Normally we would pay the Mass Distance Charge on exiting the country, but we won't be exiting.... I understand that I can get a new Cross Border permit in Windhoek when I return, but will not having paid the Mass Distance part upset this somehow?  Ian

We have never paid any charges when exiting Namibia and just bought a new Cross Border permit when we next arrive.

Ah yes, I should have refreshed the fact that it's a truck and therefore the Mass Distance Charges apply to it (not to less than 3.5t I think). It's the MDC that worries me, not the Cross Border Charge.
