Buying a used RV in USA as a Canadian
Hey All, I'm looking to get myself an RV pretty soon, though, there seems to be much better offerings/pricing in the USA over Canada. I assume this is due to demand, and potentially the economy on...

BTW, Canadian Tire couldn't care less about what sticker is on the RV. All they checked on mine was that the DRL functioned. It was too big for their shop, so the safety (a huge waste of $ to safety a brand new vehicle) was done at the local Freightliner dealer...then off to the license office to pay the PST and get plates.
You actually took your rig to CanTire ?? .... TOO FUNNY !!!!!
They have trouble safety inspecting new cars :)
EVERY motor vehicle that's imported into Canada using the RIV process has to visit Canadian Tire. There's no choice as they are the official inspectors for RIV.
No, Chinese Tire will not look for, or even care if there's ANY sticker there, why would they?
They are contracted by RIV (run by a PRIVATE FOR PROFIT company on behalf of the Canadian government) to check on FEDERAL vehicle safety items.
Life safety items like gas and electric codes are PROVINCIAL turf.
Complying with Provincial law is up to the owner, not the Federal government.
That's why for example the nice folks at the border only collect the GST portion of the HST and you pay the PST at the time of licensing the vehicle.
