Welcome Canadian RV Buyers

Your complete guide to seamlessly importing your new RV across the border.

This is a great time to buy an RV from the US!

Prices across the border are usually lower, especially on Recreational Vehicles. We have the knowledge, experience, and inventory selection to get you your chosen RV with NO hassles! When you buy an RV from us, we prepare all needed documents and send them directly to your Port of Entry 72 hours prior to your arrival.

What You Will Need at the Border

Have these four items ready for a smooth crossing.

Recall Clearance

We provide a "No Recall Letter" from the manufacturer proving the absence of safety defects, required to pass inspection.

Bill of Sale

Title or MCO

Title or MCO

We provide the title (used RV) or Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (new RV) to verify ownership has been transferred.

Vehicle Inspection

Vehicle Inspection

You have 30 days to take your RV to Canadian Tire for an inspection. Bring your "No Recall Letter" and related documents.

The Border Crossing Process

When you arrive, stop at the United States side first. Then, proceed to the Canadian border agent's office where they will verify your VIN and process your import form. They will collect the GST and the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) fee of $195 CDN.

Important Timing:
Motorized vehicles have a 72-hour waiting period before entering Canada. Towable RVs have NO waiting period.
