Default Buying RV From the States

Hey Fellas, I am buying a 5th wheel in the states, any horror stories (hopefully known) or advice anyone with experience in doing this can provide. I have done my research but wouldn't mind any other recommendations ect.. or hearing other experiences.

Lots of stories of guys buying vehicles from this area, thru a dealership in Coeur d"Alane(sp??) Id. They even have their own salesman, selling only to Canadians and have all the paperwork lined up perfectly before the guys hit the border...never heard any horror stories, so far.

Default 5th wheel

just be aware some models such as toy haulers may require a csa sticker to cross the border. there is some stipulations on installed generators, onboard fuelling stations, and divider walls on garage models
