I moved from NY to SC 7 years ago
Sales tax
NY = 8.5 % SC = 6 %
Property tax on home in NY that was 1/3 to 1/4 the size of my SC house and about 1/5 the land
NY about $15,000 per year SC about $3,000 a year
Sales tax on RV
NY = 8.5% of sale price SC $300 maximum tax.
I forget the age requirement but if you are 62 or 65 you can list it as a second home and have yearly tax / registration greatly reduced.
A few days ago I paid $3,329 for diesel when I drive to NY diesel can be 50 cents to a dollar more.
And there is almost no snow where I live and when it does snow it is usually gone by noon.
PS there are almost no tolls in SC but they can be avoided, in NY there is no way you can avoid the tolls on the GWB and Whitestone bridge (unless your camper can be turned into a boat. Last summer it cost $100 in tolls to get on to Long Island
