I bought both of our toy haulers in USA and imported into Canada. Traded the first on the second. I might trade again in which case the selling question goes away. But if I do sell, would I get a better price selling in Canada or USA? Sell truck with TH too? There may be a Class C in my future in which case won't need the truck.

I assume you bought the truck in CA ???? if so will it pass US requirements? from your post I can't really tell if your RV is a TT. 5er, etc.bumpy

Boarder is still shut down right? I dont think people will buy something that they cant get to. At least right now.

Yes, the truck is Canadian. I don't know if it meets USA standards - the speedometer is metric.As far as the border goes, yes, it will be quite a while until it's open. That might discourage USA buyers.

The speedometer is close to the bottom of the concern list. Think truck emissions. Looking for a bigger RV?

I would try to sell it in Canada as it has been shall we say imported and clear customs. That is worth dollars!More buyers could be north of the borders as most RVs are built south of the border.

Hmm, that's not necessarily good. What burns cleaner, bio-diesel, or dino-diesel, I wonder? It would be easier to get a clean OBD II test on your diesel vehicle, than a clean tailpipe, methinks?

Is it a tailpipe/opacity test, or do they just do the OBD II check for emissions (failure) codes?

Joe, although Ontario stopped testing, it was for cars. My duallie still requires testing every 2 years here in southern Ontario.

Put the TH on Kijiji, in Canada, and see what happens.
Price: Start high and you might get high. Start low, and....well?
Truck: Move the toy hauler first, unless someone asks about it.

Vehicles moving in either direction have to meet certain standards. In most cases a vehicle will be compliant. Certain Asian made vehicles can be a problem. Emission standards are federal. If a Canadian tegistered vehicle is already in the USA it can be complicated.

almcc,

Saskatchewan doesn't do yearly or periodic checks on emissions. So it may be better to say "it depends on where you are".

Then a package deal is possible.
