What Our Clients Say About Us
Tony, Whangarei, August 2024
I also like the way you do your business. The estimate is the most comprehensive I’ve had and seen. I think it’s why your suppliers and contractors hold you in high regard; there’s no room for mistakes and everybody knows what’s going to be delivered including my order and cost…
I think my last words have to be “I’m a happy chappy”. I couldn’t have bought a better van for full-time living, and I couldn’t have had a better person and company to have dealt with. Without doubt it’s why you’re successful and you delivered as promised.
Carl Gerrard, Wanaka, Sept 2022

I met Kevin Barnes through my brother who found his company, Cornerstone USA Imports through a Google search.
When entrusting your assets to be moved you do take a step of faith hoping that the person is who and what he says he is. Well, I can say without any hesitancy that Kevin is definitely a man of excellent standing who does what he says and delivers on all levels. I took that step of faith and now testify that through my experience, you can have all the confidence in the world using Kevin as your import connection to New Zealand. Not only will he point the way but also gets in front of you and leads. Always easy to contact and he returns calls promptly. I sincerely recommend Kevin Barnes.
Bernadette and Kevin, October 2022
We first saw the Rockwood Mini at the caravan show in Christchurch. So impressed we thought we would buy one. However Covid held it up. Kevin managed to source the same one we wanted from Alabama and arranged everything for us. His knowledge is invaluable and his service is first class. So pleased we went with him for our caravan. He has taken care of everything for us which includes sourcing the caravan, travel arrangements and transfer to NZ standards.
We picked it from Kevin in Tauranga and met his wife Yvonne. Such a lovely couple who made us feel welcome. We have never owned a caravan before and Kevin is always there to answer any question.
We highly recommend Cornerstone USA Imports and appreciate everything that Kevin has done for us – five star rating!
Mike and Gladis, Kerikeri, December 2021
Kevin looked after the purchase of our caravan from start to finish. We found the Cornerstone USA Imports site completely by accident. We have never done anything like this before so we entered with a fair bit of trepidation.
Kevin sourced the model caravan we wanted in Texas, arranged the purchase, the transport to LA, shipping to NZ, pick up from Auckland to Tauranga and all the compliance work as well as the additional work we wanted. Kevin looked after all the paperwork in both the USA and NZ. Kevin’s knowledge and advise throughout the project was invaluable. His network of suppliers and contractors in Tauranga who completed the compliance work etc were excellent. We dealt directly with them, which was a real bonus.
We highly recommend Cornerstone USA Imports to anyone who may be thinking of doing the same thing. We found Kevin extremely easy to deal with. Utilising his management makes the whole exercise stress free.
Al and Adrienne, Te Puke, October 2021
Thank you Kevin, for making the purchase of our caravan from USA such an enjoyable experience. Your attention to detail and the time you took to ensure we knew what stage we were at was second to none.
To pull off such a great result was an incredible outcome considering the difficult times.
We highly recommend Cornerstone USA Imports and appreciate how easy you made things for us.
John and Sandy Graham, Nelson, Nov 2020
We’re not sure how you got onto Cornerstone USA Imports website, but indeed you lucked out! If you’re close to importing a CampTrailer (Caravan) to New Zealand, look no further. These folks have given us service beyond our expectations. Kevin and his consults and vendors made the transition and retrofit of our USA Travel Trailer to more-than-exceed the Kiwi standards and still protected the original integrity of the vehicle. I could go on further, but you get the drift….
You’re in good hands with Cornerstone USA Imports. Believe me.
Duncan and Barbie Cunningham, Nelson, March 2019
We used Kevin’s services to purchase our 2019 Winnebago Minnie Plus 30 RLSS from Texas and to facilitate the transportation to LA, the shipping to Tauranga, the conversion to NZ standards and delivery to Nelson.
At every stage of this process Kevin has been extremely helpful with information and his communication has been excellent. We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone.
Many thanks again Kevin, we are loving our new home.
Yvonne Penniall, Nelson, March 2019
I was recommended by a friend to consider using Kevin from Cornerstone USA Imports as they were going to proceed order a caravan for themselves through them.
From the time I first made contact with Kevin for Cornerstone USA Imports until till getting my Winniebago Mini Plus, I have had full support throughout this journey. I am a woman on my own and needed to trust someone to get my future dream home. Kevin made this happen for me with ease. Great at communicating each step as things progressed. Very honest and trusting. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone wanting to import an American caravan.
Phil and Nicky Anderson, Nov 2018
We have recently imported a 2017 Dutchmen Kodiak Ultimate from the USA, through Kevin from Cornerstone USA Imports. We couldn’t be happier with the caravan and the service that Kevin provided us. His communication was excellent and we felt comfortable and informed throughout the whole process – from purchasing the caravan at the beginning to him explaining how it all worked at the end before we set off with our new home on wheels. We are also very happy with all of the contractors Kevin organised to convert the caravan over to NZ standards. Everything has been completed to a very high standard and in a very timely manner. There was a minor hiccup the night before we were due to drive up and collect the caravan, but Kevin and the electrician he uses went above and beyond to resolve the problem for us, so that we could collect the caravan as planned. Thank you Kevin, we wouldn’t hesitate in using your services again, or in recommending you to others!
