Hi,
My Wife an I (both Aussies) will be heading to LA in about a month to start a 9 month trip around North America. We're getting pretty excited about it all, as it's getting close, and it seems that the more I research, the more questions I have!
I was hoping that someone could clear up something for me, regarding registering an RV. I've read lots about zero sales tax in Oregon and Montana, but I've also read that if you buy an RV in California, then you can't use this trick. Is that right?
So we thought that instead of buying the RV in LA, we could rent a car and drive to Vegas, and buy an RV there. Then we could register in Oregon using a mail forwarding service based in Oregon. Even for a fairly cheap, used Class C, we figure that we could save well over $1K doing it that way. Have I missed something, and am I trying to be too smart by half?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
