1. We supply a "NO RECALL LETTER" at no charge, from Forest River Inc., and on our own company letterhead. We are a factory authorized dealer of Forest River Products and can also write the no recall letters.
2. We supply a properly endorsed "TITLE" or "CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN".
3. We supply a BILL OF SALE/INVOICE/SALES CONTRACT on our Company letterhead.

1. You pay exactly $195.00 RIV fee at the time of border crossing. (Not payable in cash, cc only)
2. You pay exactly 5% Canada National Tax at the time of border crossing. (cash or credit card)
3. You pay an environmental impact fee of $100.00 for Air Conditioning if applicable. (cash or credit card)
4. You then receive a package in the mail from RIV which you take to your province for titling.
5. You will also owe your province additional tax at the time you apply for your title transfer and plates.

1. Come and get it yourself. (obviously the cheapest way)
2. Come and get it on the US side of the border, and deal with Canada Customs on your way home. (pay us to deliver to a specific crossing).
3. Hire a transport company. They have to be bonded and insured, and you may or may not need a customs broker.
4. Canada customs brokers typically charge $350 more or less to insure your import paperwork is in order. If you are unsure of your transport company, or unsure of yourself (or who you are buying from), hire one. Money well spent.
5. Lastly, YOU MAY DESIGNATE A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF AS A PRIVATE IMPORT AGENT at the border crossing. (We have drafted a letter here which we have used on many occasions).

1. Payment must be paid in full before the camper leaves my sales lot. This goes for the entire world, not just Canada exports.
2. Anything that is not cold hard American cash is considered a check. Checks may take as long as 14 business days to clear. You get the RV after 14 business days (possibly sooner, my discretion). You get the RV AFTER any check clears. There is no way to verify International checks except waiting for them to clear. If you must send or bring a check be prepared to wait for it to clear.
3. We encourage and recommend bank to bank wire transfers. This takes 48 hours at most, and usually is done within 24 hours. (If picking up, set it up in advance with your bank). You arrive, inspect the RV, and call your bank to send the funds. You then go sightseeing for 24-48 hours...as soon as the transfer happens we release the RV and all paperwork to you.
4. We do not accept charge cards for international payment. Visa/MC/Discover/Amex all charge me around 3% of the sales price. The problem with charge cards is you could dispute the payment and get a free RV.
5. Lastly, there is a couple banks around me (within 30 miles), that will convert AMEX travelers cheques to cash. The only advantage here is you could pay in full in cash less than 24 hours.
6. Do not attempt to buy a camper/RV from me if you can't follow these terms. I do not need or want your business. As we all know there is plenty of unscrupulous people on the internet. I am not one of them. We have no way of knowing if you are for real or an eBay scammer.
