   I would think about forming a LLC in Montana and register it there.

 

  We lived in Pa until 2009.

  We went through all that stuff and then would worry about returning to Pa without a legal inspection sticker. Then once they have you pulled over they may look for more stuff. High plate fees every year. And inspections.

   And taxes on your purchase. No tax in Montana.

   In 2007 our truck was totaled by a uninsured motorist. So we bought another truck. I had to pay taxes on the replacement truck as I could not trade in the old truck. Double taxation in Pa. my accountant said I had to pay the taxes

  Also insurance may help on cost also.

 Never ever register a vehicle again in Pa.   I had noticed a truck that was registered out of state in the mid 1990s. A local dump truck. Even met the guy once. I did know his brother. Policed could not bother him.

Thanks, is there a lot of hoops to jump through to form an LLC in Montana when you don't live there? The inspection doesn't matter to me as I have my inspection license and own licensed inspection station, but I was just trying to avoid paying the extra fees.

Ours is registered as a private truck, it has to be done manually on a paper form and yes the fee is a pain in the backside. I have contacted the PA legislature, the Transportation Committee, but no one else wants to contact them to see if we can get this changed. I mean other states do the RV title.

Yea, just another way Pa gives it to us. I have reached out to Penndot as well and they gave me a list of items that it would require. But now they won't consider it an RV, but a modified TT is what the lady on the phone told me. But even then I have talked to an enhanced inspection station and they have not successfully had one pass.

I am also in PA, and will try to help if you still need it.

Thanks, yes any help I can get would be helpful. Did you convert yours to an RV title or just register it as a truck and pay the higher fees. I have heard of a few shops in my area, south eastern pa, that have had some customers go through the conversation and the state shuts them down. Seems like a lot of work and money if I'm going to end up just paying the truck Registration fee.

I am just about to start this process and also live in PA. bluflame11 would you be able to help me??
