Are you sure you need to licence the camper?
We live in Ontario and the camper was considered a load on a truck and only the truck needed to be licenced. We had to switch the plate from the truck to the camper when it was on the road as the licence plate would not be visible due to the camper overhang.
No, the camper doesn't need licensed, and that's not the concern. My question deals more with what, if anything, will I need in terms of declaration documents, saying that I bought the camper in Canada, that it meets the US standards as far as emissions or whatever from an environmental standpoint, and (the biggest question, I believe) is the declaration, if any, as it involves paying any required import duty or sales tax.
If I do not get answers here, which I am hopeful of getting, I'll talk in more depth to the dealership salesperson in BC - but you know how some of those guys are reputed to be as far as telling you anything just to get you out the door. That guy said they sell lots of campers to customers all across the US, so if true, one would hope they know how the import process works.
(I just sold my boat a month ago to a guy who came to MT from Edmonton and all he wanted from me was,the boat title and the bill of sale. I also got him in MT a temporary MT license for the boat trailer. I haven't heard from him after he returned to Canada, so I suppose he didn't have any problems getting the boat back home. (This was a driftboat for fishing and it didn't have a motor, which may have had different requirements.)
