Pros and cons of purchasing out of state
We are looking at purchasing a Jayco TT out of state. We live in TN and are finding better deals in OH and IL. Are there any reasons we shouldn't do this? What are your experiences with purchasing out...

Went just across the state line from Arkansas into Oklahoma and bought our 5th wheel. Did not pay a penny in Oklahoma sales tax but paid 6.5% in sales tax for Arkansas when it was registered. I had 30 days to complete this.
Oklahoma does not charge sales tax on vehicles, whether going out of the state or staying in the state. So this is an atypical circumstance.
Instead, we pay an excise tax when a vehicle is titled, which may or may not be partially offset by sales tax paid in another state, depending on tax compacts. I've been burned on this, so like I say, do your homework.
