Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Buying an RV from out of state
Permalink  

We found a motorhome we really like and good (and picky) friends have checked it out for us. 

My husband is going to make an offer on it - but we've got one concern . . . .it's in another state.  Our friends are planning on delivering it to us here where we live.  Now - do we pay sales tax where the motorhome is or in our home state where we'll register it??  It's a substantial difference in dollars.

Thanks

We got the answers we needed - made the deal, and we're goin' to get ready to full time!

In your home state.
We purchased our motorhome in Florida and we live in Georgia and we didn't have to pay any sales tax. You might check and see if this applies to your state. We purchased from a private owner NOT a dealership. If we bought at a dealership we would have had to pay sales tax.

Our situation was like Mike & Gerri's. We had just sold our home in Ohio. We purchased a MH in Florida. We were heading to TX in 4-5 weeks to become Texans. We waited until we registered the MH in Texas to pay the sales tax......I was hoping with all the moving they would forget about the takes...LOL We too purchased from a private owner.

Thanks for the info.  Sort of what we're thinking.  North Dakota will always be our home now so we will be registering it here.  Looks like we may just go out to CA and pick it up ourselves, tow the minivan home.  CA is where we're from, where my kids and our friends live, but it's not home anymore.
