If I am reading the S.D. web site correctly, it appears you have a one time tax on your trailer and truck or M/ H when you first register them. The following years are inexpensive though.
Those of you who have used S.D., is that correct?
Yes, when you register your vehicle, new or used, you will pay a 3% excise tax. (not a sales tax). You pay it once when you register the vehicle the first time. After that. . . only tags and they are much cheaper than when we lived in Indiana.
There is a 7% sales tax on other things in the state.
We are SD and have all our insurances, financial, wills, etc., set up there. Very RV friendly. It works well for us.
