Our country is so mobile, folks travel everywhere and are from everywhere. License everything and insure everything wherever you are registered to vote. If in state and pulled over by authorities, no problem. If pulled over in the other state, as long as everything and all addresses match, the odds of being asked if you are a resident of THAT state are probably nill! Law enforcement may ask you what you are doing in that state, but the odds of even that happening are pretty slim, unless they suspect you of running drugs or something. In which case, you tell them you are working, living between the 2 states, but your residence is the other. If you lived on a border between 2 states, and lots and lots of people do, they live in one state and work in another, drive back and forth. It's not uncommon at all. You're driving back and forth between the 2. No one will ping you on that (well ... California is weird though), but really, residing between 2 states is not uncommon at all. Just make sure everything matches in one state or the other and not mixed and you'll be fine.
Not a issue crossing the border into Canada with a truck and RV in one state and drivers license in another. Call your DMV for compliance.
The vehicles that reside in KS are tagged and insured in KS.
So you have a MN mailing address? I was curious about this so I called the DPS and a MN mailing address is required in MN.
BTW, I don't have a problem with this, I'd rather have the fees and taxes remain in MN, not like some snowbirds, saving $50 on their plates by registering in FL.
