We have a friend who bought a Beaver Motorcoach from a Canadian friend in Yuma. He said he would not do it again. According to him, Canada does not title RV's, so he had to have it properly titled in order to complete the purchase. That was a small nightmare. He did, however, get the job done.

Ive run across this situation many times before. It has nothing to do with where the item came from, the problem is WAY it came into the US.
I was personally involved in one such case when a friend of the family passed away while in Florida for the winter, the family thought they'd just sell the m/h right were it was.
The problem was the m/h was not imported into the US, it was brought in as a 'personal possession' of a tourist on a temporary basis.
In the end they decided the best way to handle the problem was to drive the unit back to Canada.
I know of someone else who bought a 5'er in Texas, since the Canadian trailer plate had no expiry they just left it like that until they went to Canada the next summer, on the way back in they properly imported the trailer. No problem after that.
