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
Some will register the expensive motorhome in another state using a 'corporation' to 'own' the company. Say you purchase it in no sales state Oregon or Nevada. Some states are more expensive to register each year. Some are lower costs.
North Dakota and Montana have a few people starting a corporation to 'own' the RV and you would get plates where the company is headquarters. So the corporation would be in a low cost state. Yet it can be very expensive to get caught. Some states are very aggressive, and say they ticket you for speeding, and see that you have a California drivers license, they will ask 'is this a rented vehicle?' or what state do you own property, or work in?
If you work more than 10 days, you are considered a resident in California. Exceptions are volunteers.
One company had over 300 expensive RV's registered in one address in Oregon. This became a problem for all the RV owners. It was considered fraud that each was actually owned by a resident of another state, and where just using that address to avoid taxes. The person who set up the fraud was sent to prison for a while.
I would rather avoid prison!
Just pay what your government requires. It actually goes to good use, mainly to pay for roadwork. Some is wasted in DMV administration. Kinda like the tax money spent to collect more tax.
