Is it smart to Register a 5th wheel in Maine

[heyobie]

I just bought a 2016 fifth wheel in North Carolina and I'm going to park it in North Carolina should I get tags and title in North Carolina or in Maine

NC personal property tax isn't cheap. You'll be hit with the "welcome to NC" Sales tax on the value of the Rv plus annual personal property tax.

If the 5er will be in North Carolina most of the time, I’d register it in NC.

Well if you are going to park it and not move it ask the campground if you need to register it.

But: A general rule if you plan on moving it is to register in the same state as the one on your Operators License (The proper name of a "Driver's License" If you live in Maine, register in Maine.

A few years back there were a bunch of folks registering LLC's in a low low low tax state. their home states.... Got upset. and when the Treasury agent comes knocking and says "you owe us money" they tend to be very...er.. Liberal.. as to how much you owe (Meaning they estimate on the high side. way high) .

Is Maine cheaper than NC ? and is it legal in NC ? Also, in Maine, I believe you may have to set up an LLC. but that's just a guess.
