Anyone from CA ever use BOE Pub 52 Rules?

I have bought two coaches under BOE PUB 52. Both were purchased in CA but delivery was taken out of state.

My advice to you is to keep excellent records. By that I mean a travel log with receipts attached showing all expenses while out of state. On the last coach we were asked by BOE to prove our status which was easy to do with good records. No problem was found and the non tax status was upheld. If requested to provide proof, do not send the origionals, send copies.

My last piece of advise is DO NOT CONTACT THE DMV ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TAX ISSUE . They are a licensing agency only and do not make the rules for tax collection. They will make you out to be a criminal.

I cannot over emphasize my last piece of advise

Well said - except maybe the last advise (advice) part.
DMV simply sends you to the BOE/FTB.

Both of my neighbors bought MHs during the (former) 90 day rule.
Neither had and difficulty - the BOE even complimented the second guy for having such extensive documentation.
(Both went to the BOE in person).
Besides campground and fuel receipts, he kept his fast food receipts, grocery receipts, etc. to document where he was.

She asked him if he had registered it in another state (it was in Oregon) during the 90 day period. He didn't - but she didn't care.

It should be noted (as one poster indicated) - (IIRC) during one of the "revisions" of the 90 day rule when it changed to one year, an RV purchased in CA, delivered out-of-state, was allowed to return for two weeks for warranty issues if the work to be done was scheduled in advance w/documentation.

No idea if that is still in effect - but wouldn't touch that one with a ten ft pole.
(Or a short Ukranian)

And - registration as a MT LLC shouldn't be part of this discussion - or even a consideration..:(
