Hi,
Thank you for such a helpful forum!
I have been reading this forum for a while and especially enjoy the resources/ library. I joined to look up more specific questions, but maybe my questions were too long because the search didn't come up with any leads. If this question has been asked, perhaps someone can add a link to that discussion?
My question is this: we are moving to California and I get different answers from different dealers about bring in an rv. We would like to buy a 2017 (currently we like Thor 27K, 29M and Winnebagos).
But I am concerned that getting it registered will be a headache due to emissions standards (CA dealer told me I will have to refit components), and the differences in taxes (same CA dealer said I'd end up paying double tax), and issues whether the RV is new or used. We do not want to avoid any taxes but we don't want to pay unnecessarily either.
We still own our home here in MI, so initially we thought it is ok to buy it here and make our way out west (yaay fun!), then I read so many posts with varying experiences and then dealers that say we could not bring the RV into CA for a year (ugh, no fun!).
It's confusing enough trying to decide on the RV - so anyone with advice or experience with coming into CA, is very much appreciated!
Thank you
