I was a Calif resident when I purchased my 5th wheel in Texas. The TX dealer called Calif DMV and got the sales tax and registration information from them and added it to my purchase price. The TX dealer gave me a 60 day temporary registration. I took possession of the 5th wheel in TX and drove it to Calif. When I got to Calif, 90 days later (got a 60 day extension from the TX dealer with a phone call) I went to Calif DMV and picked up the plates. The dealer had already paid the tax and registration to Calif DMV via mail. You should have your dealer in Calif contact Ariz DMV and do the same. You only pay sales tax to the first state of registration.
