Out of state license and storage.
I live in SoCal and am considering purchasing a class B in Montana and licensing, insuring, using and storing at my cousin’s farm in Montana. Is this legal? I’ve seen lots of material about LLC...

As an attorney, I can tell you this is an incorrect statement. Vehicles are titled where the owner maintains a legal residence.
To the OP: state laws differ, but generally you are required to register your vehicle in your state of legal residence. Some states are very aggressive about their residents avoiding taxes by registering vehicles in another state. Even those sham LLC Montana companies that some people use to register vehicles have failed other states "smell test." I think Montana is very loose about vehicle registrations, hence those LLC's. Since the RV will never be in California, and if you use a Montana address to associate that vehicle to without a mention of California, you will be fine. The chance of California discoverng you own that vehicle is virtually none. Of course if they do, as Ricky told Lucy, you got some splaining to do.
