Hi,
I am new to RVing as well as I am new to the US. I am from Europe living in Southern Cali now. By surprise I figured that if I purchase a - lets say digital camera - online from a shop in NY, I would not have to pay sales tax, while if I do the same in a store next door or at an online retailer which is located in California, I have to pay that tax.
As this does not necessarily kill me on a 300 bucks camera, it would be nice if - somehow - this would be possible for buying a slightly more expensive RV in a 50,000 to 100,000 dollar price range. So what if I, a "Californian" (from Austria, btw) would order/purchase my RV from a dealer in Arizona, Nevada, or elsewhere? Could I save sales tax, or would it be their local sales tax, or ...?
This might be a dumb question, but anyway
Thanks,
Harry
