Buying A New RV in US?

Anyone know what's involved in buying a new RV (5th Wheel) in the US and importing it into Canada? Even with the low Cdn $, it's still a good deal.

Just wondering what kind of issues I might run into because it's not CSA approved?

Anybody been there - done that? What should I be aware of? Thanks!

    With the $ exchange rate the way it is, how viable is it? That's a 25% hit plus tax on top of that amount.

    I did it last August - dead simple and we saved huge $$. I bought in Phoenix and drove it home to Whitehorse in 6 days, which was a superb adventure to start off with :)
