Ronald Eaton, registering my MH in Texas

Recommended Posts

Hi All, I just bought a used Diesel pusher and I'm wondering about registering it in Texas through the Escapees mail center to avoid the sales taxes here in California, is that possible ? I attended the 57th escapade in Tuscon and saw a lot of Texas license plates, any thoughts

Sure, it is possible if you follow all the CA tax avoidance guidelines. But you have to follow them to the letter of the law, or CA WILL come after you.

Welcome to the Escapee forums! While what you have been told is true, you won't be able to do that and still keep the RV at your California home. The reason for so many TX license plates at Escapade is that so many of us either are fulltime and use TX as our domicile, keeping no permanent home anywhere & some of us actually reside in TX and own a home there. I suggest that if you live in CA and intend to continue to do so, you probably won't be able to do this to legally avoid taxes.

In that case, you should be able to change your domicile from CA to TX. I would make sure that you file a partial year CA income tax return as an announcement to the state revenue department that you are moving away. To see what you need to do, download a copy of How To Become A Real Texan.
