Found a holiday trailer to buy but it was originally bought in the states. I have a buddy who can do the safety, but is there a lot of other messing around to get it registered and insured?

This is a good place to start.
I understand people have had success with the process.
Having the proper documents, and lead time will smooth the process.

has it already been imported to Canada? If so, who ever imported it should get the Canadian Tire inspection (for Federal). Otherwise very simple.

not 100% sure but if he didn't import it he is unable to apply for the RIV / Crappy Tire inspection. The importer has to do that. Maybe I am wrong??

If its already registered in Alberta then you will have no issues.
