what state is best to buy?

Be sure you do your homework on Transport Canada compliance for the tow vehicle. Failure to do so could result in costly modifications to get it licensed. The RV is very straight forward and requirements are spelled out but not as easy for vehicles.

I have been looking on the web and seems that garanty rv has some good deal and they also carry a GM dealership so it may be that I can put a deal togrther for both. They are in Junction City Or. I sure thank all the info that has been supplied and was Able to focus on one state than scratching my bald head to figure out which way to go. Thanx again

Guaranty has dealt w/many cross-border deals, including semi-defunct Country Coach sales to Canajians that are exporting the vehicle to their home country. They may give you the paperwork & have you sign the vehicle out of their inventory based on transporting & registering it yourself in your jurisdiction.

They did that w/me & California (a circus here, but that's another thread) using a stack of affidavits. I had to get the VIN certified by a Hwy Patrol or DMV VIN certifier (yeah, there's such an official position here in the People's Repub of CA). Oops, I digressed... but the point is Guaranty's end of the deal was made to work for both parties & leave registration/fees/etc. to you. Make sure you do your homework & know what the regs are. Any statements made by the dealership or its snipes are useless; check them out meticulously. In my case Guaranty gave me all good info, but it was still on me to verify & get it done.

FYI, if payment of sales/use tax is the only consideration:

A vehicle purchased in Washington State and immediately removed for licencing in another jurisdiction does not have to pay sales taxes to Washington. Link to applicable law

And I think that the same holds true in California. Link
