Buying a RV in US or Canada
wrote in message ... I have never seen cars or RV's with European plates in the US. I haven't either, but it can be done. According to the link below, tourists can generally bring a car with foreign plates into the U.S. for one year. I see you guys have never come across the big red German 22 passenger RVs that tour the world. They have German numbers - not tags. I've seen them all over the US, including Alaska, Canada & Mexico. I've also seen several foreign tagged motorhomes, mostly class B & C specialty rigs. Tom J |

Really? I have never seen cars or RV's with European plates in the US. Neither have I and I would highly doubt that transporting it would be very inexpensive either. And you would still need insurance. |

Buying a RV in US or Canada
In article ,
"Urs Mueller" wrote: Hello people I was visiting the US and Canada several times by car and also by RV. My future plannings include a longer trip to the north for about 10 weeks. As rentals are quite expensive, I was thinking about buying an RV. And this takes my Google searches to no end. Could you perhaps feed me with some informations. Everything (nearly) that helps, Books, Websites and other stuff is appreciated. Questions: 1. Are there reference prices for used RVs. Like x years old x miles driven equal xx% off new price? NADA price guide http://www.nadaguides.com/SectionHom...579-50251&l=1& w=25&p=0&f=5602 2. Where to buy cheaper? US or Canada? 3. What fees or other surplusses to expect? I do now about G.S.T. and sales taxes at different locations. But, I am sure there will be more fees. 4. There will be surely annual fees/taxes to pay. Insurance and other stuff? Sales tax will vary depending on what state you take delivery of the MH. There's also license and registration fees, and some dealers add on "fees" that really only pay for their advertising, coffee brakes and extravagant dinners etc. They will remove some of these fees if you demand they do so. They would rather make the sale than have you walk away because they want you to pay for cleaning of the coach for sale, and similar "fees" 5. Are there nice and well arranged web sites were one can compare more than just a few RVs? Try: http://www.rvonline.com/ 6. Would you buy from a rental agency? They sell their old (4-5 years) gear usually at the end of season. If had once an offer from http://canadream.com/ No,No, and No! 7. Any other hurdles for international buyers to watch for? I am thinking about a 24" MH. I didn't really understand the "classes" (Class "C") I found on different websites. Found some nice RVs like the Winnebago View 24B, but I cannot afford a new one. Class A is a big box build on a frame for Large trucks or RV's. Class B is a small coach usually built from a regular van but with bare bones fresh water and toilet water tanks. Often called "van conversions". Most (if not all) have quite small interiors. OK for 1 or 2, but throw in the kids and you are out of room Class C is built on a truck body and has sleeping (or storage) in the area over the cab. Usually the sofa open into a bed. rec.outdoors.rv-travel alt.rv may also help you Buying any RV now will get you a better deal than a few years ago, but they are harder to sell when you want to sell one. It could take more time than you want to invest, or just trust a salesman to sell it for you. Where do you plan to buy the RV? That could make a difference in what your choices may be. Oregon has no Sales tax, but might hit you for property tax. Everyone wants his(hers) chunk of your money. I'd like to know how you make out. -- Hey! It compiles. Ship it. Bob in Central California |
