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 ...

Thanks All for the help. It was made in the USA and registered here before a private party took it to Canada. The owner is going to take it to Phoenix customs to check it back into the States. I think I'm okay with the federal safety and emission standards. Not sure what Cali. might want. I'll try to get a hold of the DMV.
Does not matter if it was made in the USA and registered here (AZ) before!
What matters is it California Compliant? That is some thing you need to check on otherwise the great state of California will not register it.

Incorrect info!!..:(
When licensed in AZ (not Canada), NO problem bringing it into CA.
You will pay registration and Sales Tax on the sale price.
Depending on the county, sales tax is eight to 9 1/2 percent.
(A few counties are at 10%)
If you're not still working in CA, explore the "CA 90 day rule" (which is now one year) to *legally* avoid paying the sales tax.
(You will have to keep it -and prove you used it- outside of CA for one year to the Franchise Tax Board).
