You are removing the RV from Canadian commerce and attempting to put the RV into United States commerce. That requires entry of the RV at any U.S. Port of Entry. Have a broker supply the necessary paperwork. Any Customs & Border Protection (CBP) officer can make the entry for you. Their fee is ZERO $$$$ to make this entry. All you need to do is present the RV to any CBP Officer at any U.S. border crossing, or at any airport that has international arrivals. If going to an international airport, I suggest that you make an appointment with a CBP supervisor prior to just showing up.
As far as state department of motor vehicle requirements, every state is different as to what they require for registering an RV. Check with the state you wish to register the RV in.
On a side note, if you do sell the RV without importing it into the U.S, there will be a permanent paper trail leading directly back to you. This trail could cause you serious legal / financial issues at any time in the future that you drive, float or fly across the U.S. border. Do it right the first time and prevent any problems in the future. Good luck.
