Just to add a bit of information to the thread (even if it's been buried for almost a year), one of the requirements to import into Canada is that you need a Recall Clearance Letter from the chassis manufacturer. For most Class As, that's Spartan or Freightliner so it's not an issue but you have to be careful as some coaches use custom chassis (E.g. CC, Monaco / Holiday Rambler, some National RVs, Western RV / Alpine, etc) - if you can't get the Recall Clearance letter, you can't import the RV to Canada. Monaco is still around after being bought out a few times but I'm not sure if they issue Recall Letters for Roadmaster chassis so you'd want to confirm that before purchasing (I thought I had read somewhere that they do not).
On a related note, there's a debate on whether you need it from just the chassis manufacturer or both the chassis manufacturer and the coach builder. I've imported 4 class A's since around 2006. For the first one I had recall letters from both but since then, I've only had the one from the chassis manufacturer and it's never been a problem (including importing a National Tradewinds on a Freightliner chassis from a manufacturer (National RV) that was no longer in business).
