Out of state license and storage.
I live in SoCal and am considering purchasing a class B in Montana and licensing, insuring, using and storing at my cousin’s farm in Montana. Is this legal? I’ve seen lots of material about LLC...

It is perfectly legal to own a vehicle in Montana and register it in Montana, IF you have a Montana address. In fact, the address can be a PMB at the UPS store!
I know a young gentleman who purchased a Class C in Montana, registered it using a Montana address, and left it here for over a year. It never left the state. Then he took it to CA, proved to the DMV that he had owned it for a year and it had never been in CA, and transferred the title and registration to Ca, paying no CA sales tax on the vehicle. Had he wanted to, he could have left the coach in MT for the rest of his life with no problems, BUT he could never, EVER take it to CA unless he immediately registered it there or moved out of state
So, yes, it has been done and can be done without jumping through the LLC hoops.
But, keep in mind, you probably can NEVER take it "home", regardless if "home" is in CA or any other state.
