We have purchased new motorhomes in two surrounding states. It was not a hassle at all with the exception that when we bought one in Texas they wanted to make darn sure we were not "Texans" trying to avoid tax and required our Oklahoma authorities to send them all kinds of documentation for the Texas authorities. We also bought a new RV in Arkansas and it was no hassle at all. I guess Arkies are just more trusting than Texians :)
Texas has no income tax so they are really serious about collecting vehicle taxes, apparently. We sold a motorhome thru PPL in Houston and we had to go through a lot of steps we certainly would not have had to do if we had sold it here at home. I think it is because they just don't trust us Okies because we have beaten and embarrased them so many times in football over the years:D
Our current motorhome was purchased from an individual who lived five miles down the road and was less than one year old. It was registered with a tag issued by one of the Oklahoma Indian tribes. The State of Okahoma treats them just like they are an out of state purchase. Our tag agency was required to physically inspect the vehicle to verify the VIN number and I was required to return the Indian tag to the seller once I got my official state tag.
So, I would conclude that it varies a whole lot from state to state.
