I'm here!

It's not as hard as it may seem. But from experience some make it overly complicated.

Caveat- it's been a few years since we sold up in the USA. 2018. So things may have changed.

Join Escapees. And get your address. 

Open a bank account if you can. I know BofA will help non residents. Now a caveat. I'm not 100% sure a bank account is essential. But it will help. You can't get a SSN so be prepared for a few complications.

Find your RV.

Insure your RV. It MUST be insured first to get registration. Note - registration does NOT include the compulsory insurance as it does in Australia. Sit down because your insurance will be expensive by Australian standards.

Register your RV in Livingston using the Escapee address. 

Go RVing.

Caveat - this is all assuming you buy and register in Texas. Something I would recommend.

Caveat - each county has different registration requirements re inspections etc. Be prepared for those differences.

PM me if you need any help

Thanks so much Bruce… the insurance in the UK is three (3) times more expensive for non residents, than residents, so point thankfully accepted, we will factor this into our budget. The East of the USA and particularly the south east, would be a perfect starting place for us… Thankyou.

Very excited to join this forum which I discovered while I was gathering information on buying an RV in the USA. My hubby and I are Australian citizens.
We have been RV-ing in Europe, on an off, since 2011. We store the motorhome in the UK before flying home at the completion of our tours. We are currently in France and fly home mid June.
We would really love the opportunity to move our exploring to the US and would greatly appreciate any advice on how a non resident can own, register and insure an RV to explore the USA. Apologies if I have missed a thread already offering advice

kind regards

Suzie.

Thank-you to everyone so far. I understand it may be tricky, as it can be in the United Kingdom. I’m guessing we’ll have our work cut out for us but what an amazing opportunity if I can meet requirements to get this underway.

Again very appreciative of advice

Suzie.
