Experienced RV'ers help me and the DW settle a little dispute!!!
I am buying a new 5th wheel in Ohio and tagging the vehicle in Maryland. Do I have to pay sales tax in Ohio??? I say no -- we pay it in Maryland when we get the tags.
She says yes we do pay sales tax in Ohio.
When I bought out first 5'ver in Indiana did not pay sales tax.
HELP !!!

Since this is settled, I'll just toss this in for info...
SOME states were hitting people up for sales tax, even though they had already paid in the state where they bought the FW. There was a recent article where IN is considering legislation (seems like it will pass) so that people can take delivery of a new RV =in= IN without having to worry about the possible double-taxation when they take it home.
I met a guy years ago who paid sales tax on an RV purchased out of state, then had his home state try and tax him again. They could not get the first state to refund the tax, either. They refused to register the RV in their home state and towed it for years without tags. They =tried= to register it every year, but were refused because of the tax issue and demanded the refusal in writing. They received several tickets and just carried a file with them with all the paperwork and let the officer know that they =would= see him in court. Last I knew, he was still towing it sans plates and had not paid a fine. (shrug)
