Order New or Buy off Lot
Getting ready to buy a new Bighorn fifth wheel. My question is do I order one or buy off the lot? If I order, what options are must haves for snowbirds?

Taxes - will *NOT* be the same!!..:(
Buyer Beware! - do your homework!..;)
IIRC - Indiana purchases will be taxed by Indiana, no matter where you live. (Lots of mfgrs & dealers located in Indiana)
Maybe someone from Indiana will chime in.
California - *unless* you take delivery *outside* CA, a purchase from a CA dealer will include about 8-9% sales tax no matter where you live..:(
(Nobody needs to chime in on that one, LOL!)
Five (?) states with NO sales tax:
Montana, Oregon, New Hampshire, Delaware, Alaska.
Lots of RV dealers in MT !!

That doesn't mean anything if your from Michigan. If you bring it home to have it registered in Michigan, you have to pay sales tax on it, unless you paid 6 or more percent in another State. Even if you pay 4% in another State you will still have to pay 2% in Michigan.
I was looking to buy a car in Ohio (new). Was told buy the dealership that there was a reciprocity agreement between Michigan, Ohio and several other States. They collect and send the money to Michigan.
