Registering an out of state RV in California

(1/2) > >>

ukrv:
Is this possible?

What does it entail?

I want to purchase an RV from a friend in Arizona, but am not sure if I will be able to register it in California, anyone know the procedure?  I have been to the DMV site........Just can't make head nor tail of the rules.
Thanks in advance

Wendy:
Do you really want to register it in California? You'll have to pay sales tax. Vehicle registrations are high compared to many other states. Are you a California resident?

Yes we live in California, but as I said I have a chance of a real good deal from a friend, and I would hate to buy the RV then realise I cannot register it in California!

Does anybody know what I would have to do to the RV to bring it upto California specifications?  I guess if it has a EPA sticker on it that mentions California I would be Ok, but what if it doesn't?

Thanks again

Shayne:
Have your friend drive it to Cal and have it inspected there.  If it paasses inspection   you got a deal, if not  you don't want it anyway.

Gary RV Roamer:
Is it motorized, i.e. a motorhome? If so, it has to pass CA motor vehicle inspection, so do as Shayne says.
