How does that work, and is it even cost effective, especially if you want to register it in California?

Also, how it's powered by a Caterpillar 3116 engine and Allison 7-speed automatic transmission with 19,000 miles on it. How strong and reliable is the engine and how complicated or difficult is it to fix or get parts anywhere in the world? Would this engine survive the bad diesel in South...

Please excuse the ignorance - still learning. But what would the "low range TC, front and rear lockers and jake brake" do to make this rig perfect, and how much would that cost to install?

Begging the question, why? Can you point to the specific California statutes, rules, and regulations, along with the specific state and federal agencies to obtain a sign off on California emissions and registration? I've been researching this area recently and I'm always interested in hearing...

Why not register it in Indiana? Also, is it registered as an RV? Please excuse the question if not already asked or in your description.

Where is this registered out of?

Where is it registered out of and what efforts would it take to be registered in the US, and specifically California?

Herbie, incredibly helpful and informative on the practical step by step to get an out of state/country vehicle registered in California. But I was wondering if you knew the specific statutes, rules, regulations that put a vehicle within the guidelines to be a candidate for such a relicensing...

Does anyone know the specific California code sections or administrative regulations to bring in and/or import an expedition type motor home into California whether diesel or gas, whether 4 or 6 wheel, and whether truck/military vehicle in the past? I have seen the specific statutes and...

Scott, thanks. I was able to get someone from the National Inspector's of RV Association - or someone like that to do an inspection and got a good report on the rig. Nice to do, since I live completely across the country.

I am sorry, can you direct me to photos of the vehicle inside and out? Also, what is the current selling price?

Looking for a recommendation for an independent truck mechanic to do an inspection on a 1986 Steyr 12M18 in or around Kissimmee, Florida? I leave in California and am motivated to buy. But I want to know what I'm in for first.
