You can buy in Oregon, but when you go to register, you will pay the sales tax in whatever state you register in, because unless you retire in Oregon and already a citizen, then you can't use Oregon as your domicile.
Montana LLCs work well for fulltimers IF you make sure you don't spend over whatever amount of time the state where you domicile says you can. States around Montana are getting quite vigorous in going after people who use the LLC to avoid paying sales tax to their domicile state. Texas allows LLCs provided that you don't state longer than 30 days in the state in any one year.
Don't let the naysayers deter you from getting the size coach you want. Yes, there will be a few places you can't go, but most places you will be able to fit in. If I were buying right now I would be looking at a 3-4 year old (or maybe older depending upon your budget) Foretravel. Very well built coach.
Motorhomes of Texas probably has more used Foretravels that anyone else. And don't be afraid to look at orphan coaches - - lots of good ones out there.
I would also suggest you get on the
Escapees forum - more information about fulltiming. Look at the Graduating to Fulltime, which has people who will be starting the same year as you - - great way to get to know people who are going through the same process at the same time with the same concerns/fixes as you are experiencing.
