Registration Fee and Sales Tax

Hello... I'm about to purchase a 5er in Texas and I live in Vegas. I'm to receive paperwork by Friday to review and sign if I agree to what's documented. I was told today that with NV, registration plus sales tax will cost me another $1985. I plan on having the 5er delivered in Vegas. If I take delivery in Utah, will any of this change (registration and tax)? Any recommendation? I will check NV DMV but I thought I'd ask if anyone here can perhaps give me some tips or advice on how I can lessen this additional cost. Thanks in advance.

    Why UT? This kind of stuff is illegal, and expensive if you get caught.

    We're all pretty much law-abiding citizens who pay our taxes. I am certainly not going to help you avoid them.

    Other than the fact that Uncle Sam does not collect State and Local taxes, Dutch is right.

    Remember the expression, Two things you can never escape: Taxes and Death! If you try to be creative and avoid paying the tax in your state of residence, you'll just end up paying more at the end. So, save yourself frustration and just pay for delivery where you live and be done with it. Simple, easy and Uncle Sam won't be coming after you later. You can't win with tax. Just do it and enjoy the camper! RVing has it's own set of unique stresses. Why add more?

    Have the dealer give you all the paperwork and let them deliver to Nevada. Don't pay Texas sales tax. Most states have a 10 day type of one way permit to allow for the coach to be moved without paying their taxes for out of state customers. Then pay in Nevada. Been there, done that many times with motorcycles. It keeps you from paying twice the taxes.

    Tax and registration is due in the state in which you live.

    If you pick up in another state you will still have to pay tax and registration in your state.
