California registration of out of state RV
Hello All, Thinking of buying a 2004 HR 40' Diesel. It has Canada plates and owned by folks in Arizona. It was originally registered in AZ. They are going to take it to Phoenix customs to enter it ...

Should I assume that if you found the calculator you also found the entire DMV section on how to register an out-of-state vehicle?
In that section, I found a brochure which has a section about vehicles which cannot be registered here. Does any of this apply?
"Vehicles Purchased From Out of
the Country (Grey Market)
California has special requirements for
vehicles imported from other countries
(including Canada and Mexico). It may
be very costly or impossible to modify
these vehicles to meet California emission
requirements and/or federal motor vehicle
safety standards (FMVSS). No direct
import vehicle less than two years old
can be converted to California emission
standards. Not all direct import vehicles
over two years old can be converted
to California emission standards and
FMVSS. No motorcycle or diesel-powered
vehicle can be converted to California
emission standards. For details, contact the
California Air Resources Board (ARB)."
