Anyone from CA ever use BOE Pub 52 Rules?
I am going to be intentionally vague as I am only looking for feedback from those who have legally gone through this process or have looked into it for themselves. Seems very straightforward as long a...

Yes on the PUB 52 rules in 2004
I did an out of state purchase and at the time there were two tests. One was the 90 day rule or test, basically 90 days out of state with exceptions and the second was if the RV was brought into the state for any cause prior to the 90 days it, the RV, would need to go back out of state for more than 1/2 time in the following 6 months.
I met the second test after a BOE investigator discovered that I had brought the RV into the state for warranty work prior to 90 days. (note this was not a sneaky move on my part as it was planned and there was a paper trail) That request from BOE came after 5 years in 2009. He requested all the paper work and logs that I had and he said he would send me a letter if he needed anything else, so far no word from them. I did have all the records in a travel log everything and every paper.
Prior to the purchase I called the BOE and asked for the investigator that investigates the out of state purchases. I called and talked to three different investigators and all their answers were the same to my questions unlike the person that actually answered the phone as there answers were all over the place. I also got their names and badge numbers and used them in my reply back to the BOE in 2009 as BOE officers that I reached out to for assistance. The BOE folks that I talked to were very informative and professional in their answers and I felt comfortable with all but the last one. I also made copies of all the receipts, and stored them on the computer, as I got them and was glad I did as the originals had faded out and most are unreadable.
My RV was registered in CA and I paid the CA registration fees later it was registered in SD and since then those fees and taxes go to SD.
All and all it was a big savings on the money.
Just as a side note the out of state purchase also applies to planes and boats too and I think that the boats are a bigger deal than the RVs
