How To Buy

How To Buy A Camper From Pop Top Heaven
We sell about 75% of our Campers sight-unseen. For you folks shopping for a Camper from out of state, buying online or over the phone can be a new, sometimes nervous experience. We understand this and want to make your distant-purchase an enjoyable experience. When you have decided on a vehicle, we prepare a "pre-purchase video" for you, where we describe in detail every little blemish that wasn't there when it rolled out of the factory. This is done by appointment only. We DO NOT deal in frame damaged, salvage title, storm damaged, or severe accident vehicles. Just ask for the VIN and check for yourself. We carry nothing less than the best vehicles available in the USA.

So, How Does It Work
Believe it or not, it's this simple. We try to make the purchasing process as easy and stress free as possible.
  1. Use the contact us form for a complete listing of our inventory
  2. Once you've decided on one or more Campers, email or call with any questions, or to arrange creating a video of the Camper for you.
  3. Once you've decided on a Camper, Mary will complete your paperwork packet, and if necessary, express mail it to you for signing.
  4. Once your paperwork is signed, you will need to arrange payment in the form of a wire transfer, cash (in person), or a bank check.  All the required information for any of these methods of payment is be included in your paperwork packet.
  5. Once we've received payment, and your signed paperwork packet, we get to work, and you will be notified when your vehicle is ready for pickup or transport to your door.
  6. Last, our DMV representative will process any required filings with the DMV, and in the case of California residents, file your paperwork so you don't need to lift a finger (just wait for your plates and registration in the mail).
  7. If you are an out of state buyer, your title will be express mailed to you after any required filings with the California DMV.
Buyers Outside California
You are always welcome to visit our office and view any vehicle here, however, if you sign a contract to purchase a vehicle, submit payment for a vehicle, or take delivery of a vehicle in person at our Yucaipa California office, you will be subject to California state sales tax (currently 7.75%). You will receive a credit for taxes paid when you register your vehicle in your home state. If you do not want to pay California state sales tax, we can arrange for transport across the California border, where you may take possession of your vehicle. Remember, we can easily arrange to dispatch your vehicle for transport to a licensed and insured transporter to all lower 48 states and Alaska, border entries for Canada, or to a port for delivery to Hawaii.

Where To Stay/Flying Or Driving In To Pick Up
If you're flying in or driving a rental car to pick up your Camper, we recommend the Dynasty Suites in Redlands (800) 874-8958 (if you plan to stay overnight prior to picking up your Camper). If you're renting a car, we recommend a one-way rental from Enterprise (909) 797-4995. They have a local office 3 miles from us where you may drop off your rental. If flying in, we recommend Ontario International Airport. It's about 30 minutes from us, and has a shuttle service that comes our way every 30 minutes, or taxi services at about the same rate as the shuttle.

Registration And Title
We hold title on every vehicle we sell, but in some instances, we need to make changes to a title to correct errors. California residents will receive a 90-day temporary registration, or current plates. Out of state residents will receive the title, and a form called a REG262, which will allow him or her to register the vehicle in his or her state. If you encounter any problems registering your Camper we can get what is called a "California title only" in your name. Of course, we can't do this until the vehicle is purchased. When a title correction is required, or a California title only is required, receipt of your title may be delayed for up to 90 days. We do supply what is called a "trip permit" which allows you to operate your vehicle until you receive your title. Some states do not understand the purpose of the trip permits, so if there is a delay receiving your title, we encourage you to leave the plastic Pop Top Heaven plates on the vehicle, and carry your purchase agreement until you receive your title. Since we are only licensed in California, we cannot register your vehicle if you are a non-resident.

Shipping To Your Door
If you can't make it out here to us, we can deliver your Camper to you! We utilize fully insured vehicle transportation companies that deliver door-to-door nationwide. Delivery time varies, but is usually no more than a few days from our dealership to your home. We will present you with an estimated delivery amount, and do our best to book your Camper for that amount.  Payment for transport is expected BEFORE the Camper departs our dealership.

Shipping Rates
Shipping rates vary by delivery location, and can be up to $1 per mile plus a one-time $200 fee we charge to cover our costs for arranging and coordinating transport.
  This price includes ALL insurance, handling, and transportation.
