Any hint is most welcome...

Try to export in format file .DAE, import on blender and export .obj.
Another possibility is search an extension on Sketchup(In some versions, the extension not works).
PS: this is the easiest and cheapest way I found.

You may export to .DAE from SketchUp Make (the free version, for non-commercial purposes only) that runs on Wine (see winetricks sketchup for an auto-install!) and convert to .OBJ using the Assimp utils (e.g. assimp export Untitled.dae Untitled.obj).
Babel3D also provides a free plan for 3D format conversion, but I didn't test it.

The winetricks version of SketchUp can only read SKP files up to v8, unfortunately – scruss Nov 28 '16 at 17:54

It seems that [SketchUp works with Wine](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1815) up to [version 2016](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=33102). – tricasse Dec 01 '16 at 18:27

@CrandellWS: How is there a licensing issue here? The answer you're linking to says the same: "Exporting as Collada .dae format from SketchUp works very well". This is limited to non-commercial uses if you use the free version, but it's the only limitation. – tricasse Feb 16 '17 at 20:25
