  • @kjf63
    @kjf6329 күн бұрын

    What you say about some say yes and some say no, that was the hurdle, inconsistent information! The American title is signed by the seller and provided to the buyer. It’s then presented to the American border folks upon export. I believe that they keep it, and I’m saying that because I’m searching through all of my paperwork and I could only find a photocopy of it. I’m pretty good about organizing my paperwork so since I don’t have the original title I’m almost certain that it gets left at the border. Are you hiring an exporter? My understanding is that you have to and they will tell you how to organize all of your paperwork. That service cost me $131.

    Late to the party, but to me that looks like wingtips. Something took off from the ground and went right up the side of the van. Had to be a bird. Owl maybe? They are dead silent flyers.

My previous understanding was that it couldn’t be modified such as cut for widening or raising the roof, etc. But the word camper is pretty generic. If you’re in BC then check with ICBC (your insurer, where you register your vehicle), you can also call CBSA, I also think I called the RIV as well.
