As to any perceived moral issue I don't think there are very many of us that intentionally pay more in taxes than we owe. Your interest on your RV is deductible so do you not take it so that you can pay more in taxes than you owe? I don't think there are too many RV owners who would do this, if there are any!
That's not the point and a bit of apples to oranges. The interest deduction is intended for just that and does not require an LLC. An LLC in a state you do not live in, is not intended to sheler you from taxes on a state you do live in under the guise of a business you don't really operate. It's abused for that. You don't see the IRS sending notices to folks who take an interest deduction on a MH or second home. You do see them questioning opening LLC's for tax shelters. It's a little different.
