I’ve done exactly this process, luckily BEFORE sale, a few times now.
The comments about importation are spot on. It’s illegal for a Canadian to drive an RV into the US and then leave it there when they go home unless they own real estate and it’s left there.
They vehicle MAY be allowed to be ‘imported’ through a non-border CBP Point of Entry if the agent on duty is unaware of the process, but even then the owner must process themselves since a vehicle brought in for tourism is considered personal property, like really big luggage.
On my first attempt we tried to process it through a Florida Point of Entry and were refused and told to drive the unit back to Canada and re-enter “properly”.
