I searched this in the forum but couldn't find any info so here is the question:
Has anyone tried to register out of state diesel pusher from out of state to California? What was your experience?
I am looking to buy a late 90 or early 2000 diesel pusher and may purchase from out of state and like to find out if any trouble to register in California.
Thank you!

Yes, expect trouble. Have you visited the CA DMV website?
