Check to make sure it's admissible on the RIV list.

Also remember to fax the bill of sale, etc to the border crossing you WILL be crossing at 72 hrs before you reach the border.

Asides from that...enjoy the savings.

By 23 feet or so, do you mean 39 feet? Because I have a nice one for sale. Just bought another one from down there, so the 1st one has to go.

Default US Motorhome

Dont discount some of the shops that bring them up on a regular basis. Mine was through an auction in Vegas, they brought it up, did all the work and posted it for sale. Paid 65% of the price of a Canadian. Was so cheap I thought it was a Kijiji scammer!!!!

I brought my motorhome up from Oregon a couple of years ago. Substantial savings from purchasing here.

Was it new? Was it from a dealer?

No it was a few years old and from an auction. Saved at least 10K from the prices around Calgary. Importing was very easy.
