We recently traded our Ontario registered fifth wheel for a another unit in Texas. It turned into a very difficult process as the dealer would not accept the trailer without a US registration - Texas in our case. After many false starts we finally hit on the solution from another RV dealer. We simply took the trailer to the crossing at Nuevo Progreso and had it imported into the US. This is all done on the US side and took 30 minutes and was completed at no cost. Once we had the document the dealer took it immediately. We tried another closer crossing but the agents had no idea what we were even talking about so it is worth the drive to Nuevo Progreso.

seems a lot of things are like your problem, talk to the right people and it gets done. LIKE ROAD service ,get a dummy on the phone and things don,t get done.

I guess I wonder about your declaration when crossing from Canada to the USA, where you state you are not bringing anything into the USA that you will be leaving there. I think this is part of the verbal declaration I make every time we cross into the US.

I do not ever recall making such a declaration driving into the US or of ever being asked that question and we cross very often. Unlike Mexico, I don't think there is a process in place to control for such things. The dealer did not hesitate to accept the trailer for a trade as long as he had the import document.

Do you have the documents necessary to IMPORT the new, I assume, fifth wheel into Canada. Also curious what plate is on the new RV.You will not get a Canadian plate/registration until the HST is paid.

The new trailer will never be imported into Canada. It has a Tx plate on it - well, not on it as we have no immediate plans to move it. It will stay in the US as we have no means or reason to move it to Canada. It is a 'destination' trailer that is more suited to our use. We do not travel with it.

Our friends got permission from park management to use the parks address to get their California tags. Hundreds of units done that way. Maybe that can be done in Texas also.

Perhaps someone can address the issue, if there is one, of the RV not having a tag. I expect that will be some kind of issue!
