Don't tag or insure the unit until you are ready to depart. If one of the relatives insist on using it tell them that they will need to tag and insure it before putting it on the road. You will probably be the first to use it!
( Remember, the registered owner will be responsible for tickets for parking and such, as well as being responsible for allowing any driver with out proper license endorsements to drive. Fines can get pretty heavy in many states.) in some cases the more drivers listed with the insurance company can raise insurance costs, especially if their driving record isn't real clean.

Things makes me think about something else....
I used to do a good bit of flying GA. In the small airplane world it is very common for friends to chip in together to buy an airplane and share it. Groups of 2, 3, 4, and even more folks
Often folks aren't even friends, they may not even know each other.....
What is always done is they form some sort of corporation
so the airplane is owned by that corporation, and they make rules or bylaws....they all agree on things such as
monies required to chip in for each use (maybe so much a mile or so much a day for the RV application).... an amount to cover operation, tags, taxes, insurance, etc.... and a fund for future maintenance. There may also be a clause in the bylaws on how additional money might be assesed in the even of some unexpected failure....
They also agree on a schedule, or some other way to ferret out who can use it when, or a way to check to see if it's available....
....So the weekend of July 26th is Jim's weekend, but he's not using it so Mary can use it and trade her August 2nd time slot with Jim....
I still wouldn't be interested in doing this with an RV personally, but it strikes me that this would be perhaps the "right way" to do this if one was so inclined....
