I think such a plan would work as long as both states cooperate. Neighboring states (ones that touch each other) are more likely to do so, as they are used to having sales tax situations come up more frequently. That said, some states insist on getting their own piece of the pie, so to speak, and you could end up, with some combinations, paying sales tax in both places.
For instance, we bought our trailer in Utah but live in Idaho and registered it in Idaho. These two states cooperate with each other, so we paid no sales tax to Utah and paid sales tax when we registered the trailer in Idaho. There was a minor charge (I believe it was something under $70) to get a temporary registration tag in Utah, which allowed us to pull the trailer home.
