Couple from UK buying their first RV!
Hi Everyone Not sure where to start. I have so many questions. Here’s our story. We currently live in the UK. Starting in early 2014, we want to buy an RV and spend part of each year (3-6 months)...

In addition to Escapees RV Club, I would contact Alternative Resources in Sioux Falls South Dakota. They are a mail forwarding service that also handles vehicle registration and insurance for full-time RVers. They have been doing it a very long time and may have had experience with international travelers.
We are Escapees members but chose to use South Dakota as our domicile because of the more favorable sales tax and vehicle registration and insurance rates (Texas sales tax is 6.5% and SD is 3%).
When you buy your rig, it makes no difference where you buy it, but you will need to register and insure it in the state where you have your domicile address. So if you establish your address in South Dakota, you can register your vehicle(s) there.
It's one stop shopping at Escapees, so if you don't mind paying the slightly higher sales tax and registration/insurance, then it's a little easier. But the folks at Alternative Resources are great to work with and make it very easy to get established in South Dakota too...
