registering class A in another state
what are the advantages of registering in another state and how do you go about it, looking at buying a new class A
Forum Discussion
Typically, the state where you live has rules about registering vehicles, such as you have 30-60 days after bringing a vehicle into the state to get that state's title and plates...
Advantages, depending on where you live, include lower sales tax, and lower or no use tax, lower annual registration costs.
Disadvantages include getting caught.
Note, I bought our rig in Florida, registered it in Montana, brought it home to Illinois, and did in fact get caught and eventually had to get Illinois plates and pay 8.75% sales tax (plus some interest and penalties)
IMHO, while taxes and registration costs should be a factor when choosing a domicile state if you go full time, if you still "live somewhere" it only makes sense to play by the rules and register your vehicles where you live.
