Problems for Alaskan resident buying an RV in California?

While there is not a state sales tax in Alaska, some towns and boroughs do have one.

Not to sound alarming but if he sends money first and to much its a fake deal and stay away from it I had one from NY and the postal money orders were fraudulent, so watch out. If he is there in person with cash go for it and have papers notarized saying he bought from you and on what date. Good luck with it.

There's no sales tax in Alaska, so if the fellow buys it in California and immediately removes it for licencing in Alaska he won't have to pay California Sales tax.

Per his traveling home with the Moho in your name:
I wouldn't let anyone leave my driveway, much less the State/Country, without a binding transfer of ownership. Here in Washington that's accomplished by the seller signing off/sending in the form on the back of the Title...

Alaska has a sixty-day permit available that I think might solve the transport-home problem...The fellow that's interested in the Rv might inquire about this at his local office, assuming he's still in Alaska.

Here's a link to the State page on the subject:Tags and Titles: Out-of-State Alaskans

Never had a border guard ask for my registration when passing into Canada. All I've been asked to show is my passport card. To be safe, you could give him a notarized statement giving him permission to drive the RV to Alaska. Also, make sure he has the Canadian insurance card whether it's insured in your or his name.

Probably. More than likely it will get worse when he has to pay sales tax on the sale too.
