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.

Register in a Montana LLC.
If the OP is still working in CA this could cause a real problem. Another possible problem is that if he parks the coach at his residence. A jealous neighbor could (and knowing CA people)turn him into DMV.
I considered the LLC when I lived in Komifornia but the Montana attorney advised me against it for the above reasons. I elected to do the out of state delivery and kept it out of state the required amount of time. I did get questioned by BOE asking for proof of my out of state time. I had a stack of log book, receipts from fuel purchases, campgrounds, food, etc, which was supplied to BOE. All was in order and I owed zero use tax which saved me $25,000
