The impression I get is that most states have reciprocal agreements. That was true of Washington. I called my county's Dept. of Licensing to be sure before I paid that Calif. tax. The amount was just about a wash, so it worked out real good for us. The permit you get if you pay Calif. sales tax doesn't seem to have an expiration date, so you can take your sweet time getting your new rig home. I would rather have paid that sum of money to my home state, but I sure wasn't willing to have someone else drive those first several hundred miles. (One of the really great things about buying at the factory is that you get to break it in!) Rich

Check out the recommendation from GM website in breaking in their replacement engines at
www.paceparts.com/crate_engines_and_partials.htm. Their advice would apply to Fords also .

Picking it up at the factory gives you the advantage of being able to change the oil aand filter after a 1/2 hour of driving and a proper breakend.

One of the nice things LD does when you order your motorhome is provide you with your owners manual.
Since you will wait for 6-7 months to take delivery, you will have plenty of time to study and prepare yourself to pass their new user test!

Lazy Daze 2001 Motorhome Manual says " Check the oil each time you fill the fuel tank for first 1000 miles. A new engine will consume more oil during the break-in period than afterward. It would not be unusual to add a quart of oil every 750 to 1000 miles to a new engine. The chassis engine should be totally " broken in" by 9-10,000 miles. The first oil and oil filter change should be preformed at approximately 1,500 miles. Then approximately every 3,000 miles thereafter. See the chassis owners manual for the proper type and weight of oil."
