Subject:Re: buying a westy out of state, how do I drive it home legally?

Brilliant Thread and since I will be picking up my New 90 Westy Syncro in LA
nxt Wednesday, timely.

I have a little different twist to this though.

As stated, I will be picking up the vehicle in LA ..... just moved from CA
to AZ.

Will then be heading straight (in a slow meandering sort of way) to Denver,
CO for some work on the Van.

The Van will remain in Denver for 2-3 weeks.

When I pick it up it will then head straight for Dallas, TX.

Major AC installation and upgrades.

Finally, a month or more after being picked up in LA, will make its way to
Phoenix, AZ.

Yeah, I know.... a Vehicle Registration Nightmare.

Rather than messing with various temporary registrations or whatever AZ
calls them.

I thought I'd register the vehicle in CA and then reregister it in AZ.

Does that seem to make sense?

Happy Trails,
