Kirk…thanks for the research…I will pass this on to my POW.  

The only thing I can’t get my husband past is the what ifs…what if we got into an accident on the say over to the test.  So, I am at a standstill right now.  Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond.  I know you are all right, but my engineer husband can be a piece of work at times. 😀

Rotorhead…wish we did have a friend who could help us with that, but I think we are out of all options except the illegal one. 😀

We have pretty much eliminated the idea of getting a LLC in Montana for many reasons…one being making the RV a commercial business.  What is most disappointing is that the RV dealers are in a position to help, but will not. Another issue is the law in Texas…I can’t understand why they don’t insert a clause allowing people to have 90 days to upgrade their license.  That would resolve the problem to cover the legal issue.

Txiceman I am sure that would be the scenario if we chose to do it that way.  As I said before, we are very anal.  BTW,  I am KB4MEJ and my husband is WD4NNY

Barbaraok.  We tried that already.  One dealership in Texas said that under no circumstances would not help with that in any way.  We know which dealership we will not buy from.

Yes, Kirk…Texas resident and looking to purchase an RV.

Docj where was that?  That’s an ideal situation!!

We try to do things by the book…in this case driving to take the road test is a challenge.

I have tried multiple avenues to be able to obtain the upgraded license prior to getting the RV.  Renting an RV to take the test usually requires a minimum of 2 nights and costs like $1500.  All we need it for is a half a day.  
 

Thanks for all your input. 

WOW, I never said we had concerns about passing the written or road test in Texas.  I know we are more anal than most, but driving your own vehicle to take the test is driving illegally.  IF you get into an accident, you COULD have insurance issues. Many people don’t worry about it and just go ahead and drive to take the road test.  
On the topic of getting a LLC in Montana…I was told by an RV Dealer that doing that would solve the issue of having to get a Class B Non CDL.  I’m not sure that is an avenue we wish to take for several reasons,  but obviously we would need to research that further.

I hope I didn’t offend anyone.

Thanks to all who replied.  To us the thought of getting an LLC for the purpose of avoiding sales tax and also to avoid having to get the Class B non CDL license in Texas  just doesn’t feel right.  At this point our big frustration is the drivers license that makes it next to impossible to accomplish legally.  Somehow the laws in Texas are screwed up!  

There wasn’t an article attached. 

Has anyone who lives in Texas made a decision to establish an LLC in Montana to register their RV?  Our understanding is that there would be no sales tax or requirement to get a Class A or B Non CDL license for vehicles weighing over 26,001 pounds. What are your thoughts?  Thanks in advance.
