- chloe_s_ranchExplorerYes Nevada is VERY expensive for registration on newer rvs. No income tax, but they make up for it with high registration taxes.
- nevadanickExplorerDont think about Nv if try to save on registration. My 2016 Phaeton was $4200 in Nv. We are buying a house in Ca and registered it there and its $1600.
- outboardfeverExplorerMy post says nothing about owning a 100,000 K motorhome.
We have been looking at moving out of state and are considering Ore.
Just looking at costs differences.
Fuel just got another 20 cent a gallon tax here and it is time to leave. Thanks to those who can provide info and not jump to stupid conclusions. - ol_Bombero-JCExplorer

What???? You have a 100K motor home and can't afford the registration fees?
The OP didn't provide enough info..:h
Does he mean *registration* -or- *sales tax* on a new (or used) MH?
The registration is chump change compared to the sales tax, which on
a $100K MH purchase (in CA) would be close to $10K.
*If* he already owns a MH *registered* (licensed) in CA, changing *registration* to Oregon will save a few bucks - but generate lots of grief!
*If* you are a CA resident driving a MH licensed in another state in CA - - you will have "problems" - especially with the CHP.
(You better have a valid Driver's License for that "other" state.)
However, CA *SALES TAX* can be legally avoided (and has been for many years) via the "90 day rule" - which is one year now.
You must receive (accept delivery) of the MH, boat, or aircraft out-of-state, and *use* it out-of-state for one year.
The State Board of Equalization (Franchise Tax Board) will expect to see receipts to back up the one year out-of-state usage.
If your proof is acceptable, you will be permitted to pay the normal registration fee to register in CA at the DMV - and your RV may then be stored, used, etc. in CA.
BTW: don't even think LLC in CA..:(
~ - jorbill2orExplorer IIRegistration in Oregon is based on length of the coach to the max of 45 feet ( 50 bucks to 400$ but that's for a two year tag) value of the coach , isn't part of the question A Newell cost the same as a Winnebago
Not part of the OP's question but Several years ago it was common for people to register and "run" mostly calif residents wishing to not pay sales tax but there was a major crack down many years ago on non residents and it's difficult if not near impossible to purchase tax free and register in Oregon several dealers were in big trouble.
Oregon motorhome fees - n7bsnExplorerOne guy I know has his $300,000 DP registered via a Montana LLC
To keep California off his back it's stored in Ashland and he never takes it through Calf.
I thought going from Sac to Ashland, to eastern OR, to Nevada to Phoenix was not worth what he was saving in taxes - olympicmanExplorerOn 12-13-2015 we paid $283.50 to renew our 2010 Class A 35' Aerbus registration.
- crassterExplorer III think just because people have $ for a coach doesn't mean there isn't room to still watch where the bucks go. They are money pits, but no harm in saving a few bucks if possible.
