Since you purchased your rig in CA (or at least registered it there) you will not have to pay any additional in SD. We register our RV and car for less than my car alone used to cost in CA.
One advantage is that you will remain in the same Tricare region in SD as you are in CA. No transfer.
Insurance was a bit cheaper but not a lot. No income tax, no vehicle inspection, no special license required. You only have to return to SD once every 5 years to renew your license. Oh, and you don't need an appointment to go into the DMV! It takes less than 15 minutes.
Neither of us has been called for jury duty in all this time. (Knock on wood).
If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.
