One wrinkle that those who suggest establishing a corporation in a
low cost state overlook is that many states require that a
corporation "doing business in" their state must also register with
that state. While ownership of an RV in Montana (or Nevada or
elsewhere) through a corporation might work, if you have a physical
residence in California (even for less than 6 months), and have any
transactions (such as servicing your MH) as the corporation,
California may then demand that you register the corporation with the
Secretary of State --- at a cost of "only" $800 per year.

If you like the weather here, be prepared to pay the taxes. Me? I'm
thinking of moving to Oregon or Nevada as I get closer to the time
when I'm ready to go on the road.
