GNTY, totally agree on the 15 years. Two things we ran in to.
1) The original owner of this unit was the owner of Revcon. He never titled the camper until 2010. There is also no certificate of compliance plate on the truck that shows it was completed in 2000. RIV would not allow it to be imported.
From Transport Canada.
"Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) may use whatever information is being provided by the importer as proof of age, to obtain a satisfactory level of comfort that the age of the vehicle presented at importation is valid and that the importer's declaration "matches" that of the vehicle being declared.
- The age of a vehicle is primarily determined by the date of manufacturing (month/year) as noted on the vehicle's statement of compliance label affixed by the manufacturer.
- Vehicle identification;
o Vehicles with a VIN: The VIN is the most common way to match a vehicle to its paperwork but some older vehicles may only have serial numbers in place of a VIN.
o Vehicles without a VIN: To have been registered in the past, such older vehicles would have required some sort of unique serial number identifying them. Whatever serial number is available either affixed, engraved, embossed, printed, labeled on the vehicle etc., that clearly identifies and matches the vehicle to its paperwork, should suffice to identify the vehicle.
Matching a vehicle to its age: CBSA may use any kind of paperwork provided, such as a title, a registration, a bill of sale, a service invoice, a vehicle history report, a speeding ticket dated 15+ years ago, etc.), that proves that the "referenced vehicle" meets the age exemption.
- When no identification markings whatsoever exist on a vehicle that can be used to validate the age of the vehicle and there is no other document that would otherwise be deemed satisfactory to determine the age of the vehicle, the vehicle (including trailers) does not qualify for importation using the "non-regulated due to age" exemption.
How to determine admissibility for formerly regulated vehicles that would normally meet the age exemption but have been modified:"
2) Revcon is not on the Registrar of Imported Vehicles list of vehicles that is allowed to come into Canada.
Trust me, at $35,000 ( the price the seller was asking last year) I tried every way to get it registerable in Canada. I even considered registering it in the USA and leaving it down there. No go. I hit a brick wall at every turn.
If you have a half hour google Ray Novelli. Ray was the owner of Revcon and quite an interesting fellow.
