Thanks for the help so far... Unfortunately, it seems like we have conflicting reports on here as well. (Not that I don't appreciate the offers!)
It is a motorhome... as I said, a Forest River Georgetown. As far as I know, all of the Forest River's were made in the US... so this would, in fact, be a re-import.
It is my understanding that making sure that it meets US *vehicle* safety standards, then the fact that it was manufactured in the US *should* be good enough. As for the *RV* aspect, it is (again my understanding) that the Canadian Regulations are law, however US RVIA are simply "guidelines."
The reason I am looking at Canada is that I am looking for a class A with bunkbeds -- which are fairly rare... and even more rare when taking into consideration what I hope to spend.
There is a lot of discussion online about TRAILERS, but very little about MOTORhomes...
Please, keep the advise coming! I am sure I will get to the bottom of it sooner or later.
Thanks!
