Dear all,
My wife and I are intending to buy a MH and the question has come up of State Residence and the process of license, registration and insurance We are French and live in France but we are accustomed to rent each year a RV in USA for at least one month. We have been doing that the last 14 years. As in a few month we will become "young" retirees we would like to buy a used RV and spend 3 to 6 months (maybe more) per year in USA, hitting the roads. We also intend to tow a small vehicle.
So I guess we need to select a home base somewhere in USA in order to have the vehicle licensing and registration there.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to buy a MH in one State, pay the sales taxes in another one (a State that is most beneficial for us) and have the vehicle licensing and registration in that State.
Other related questions :
- do we need an american driver's license or would our international driver's license be ok ?
- how to do the registration
- what about insurance
- should we ask a lawyer to help us ; also a technician to inspect the RV we intend to buy
If anybody knows a provider/company that could help foreigners to buy an RV and have all the processes done that would be wonderful :)
Any other advises would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance Best Jacky

Go over to the Escapees forum, www.rvnetwork.com, and join and post this question. There are several people from England and Australia on the Escapees forum and can help you with the process.
