buying in AZ, I live in cali.

Sch, La Mesa RV freaked! Money wasn't the issue. I offered to pay for shipping AND pick it up in AZ...I.e. No shipping. They still said "no."

Our friends bought the 5er in Ca and took delivery in Reno. They then took a trip to Yuma stayed in a RV park for a week. Then put it in storage for 3 months there. Returned for another weeks stay then did the paper work brought it home to Ca. All they needed was proof they stayed out of state for 90 days, paid no sales tax.

Pretty sure that since this is a Toy Hauler (Trailer) and not a Motor Vehicle (Motor Home), there should be no issue buying in AZ and registering in CA....

I believe you can't buy in one state and first register in another, 2oldman.

There's something not right with that sentence.

After buying my Winnie from La Mesa RV in San Diego the CA and AZ paperwork prevented me from personally picking my Winnie from their dealership in AZ. Manager said that would make the sale in AZ and he didn't know how to do the paperwork...sold in AZ but first registered in CA...but shipping to CA as "unsold" was easy. Even offered to pay the shipping and pick it up....no!

Based on the personal experience of a friend, the documentation procedures required by Calif. is a pain in the rear. To save all the hassles and potential fines of not following Ca. registration rules, I would just register the trailer in Calif. , pay your fees and been done with it.

Generally you would only pay sales tax to the state where you register the TH.
