Jonathan55 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I travel about 2-3 months at a time. Last year I left my class B in Tucson for January till April 1st so didn't have to winterize. This year I'm searching for a small class C to get more storage. If I buy something at a show or dealer out West and still live in Ohio where do I register. I bought a car in Florida a few years ago and had to take it to the BMV in Ohio to have someone come out and verify the VIN before I could register it in Ohio. If I buy something out West I don't want to have to drive to OH for this verification thing. Can I register it in a state I don't live in full time? Thanks for any ideas, Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catch is that you need an address in the state of registration. Some states, like TX, SD, & FL will let you use a mail forwarding address for vehicle registration, but many do not.

rynosback Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I bought my car and truck in MD and the dealer registered them in SD. Several weeks later the dealer mailed me the tags. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Also be aware that you may get double taxed. Some states accept that you paid sales tax in the state you bought it from and some do not, forcing you to pay taxes in both states. My state, Michigan is good. Don't know about Ohio.

TheDuke Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Fortunately we live in MN which deducted the AZ tax i paid. AZ even put a 90 day temp sticker on so i could stay in AZ for two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Ohio accept a VIN verification from someplace in the state where you purchase the vehicle? Like maybe a police station or somewhere else? That way, you could register the vehicle in Ohio and not have to worry about driving it back just for that.

Are you going to leave the Class C in AZ or are you eventually going to drive it back to OH after your 2-3 months of travel? If leaving it, does the place you leave it have an address you can use for the registration? If driving back to OH after your travels, see if you can get a 90-day temp tag. There are always options. Unfortunately they are not always good options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
