I don't know how Mich. taxes but I live in MN. They have a chart that they go on. Based on weight and the year of the veh. I think. Montana has no sales tax and very low plate rates for rv's. It is possible to create a limited liabilty corporation (LLC) in Montana for pretty cheap. They have attorneys that handle everything. Then you register your rig under the LLC and title and plate it in Montana. Lots of rv'ers do this. I would have done it but MN has a law that says if the rig is in MN for more than 30 consecutive days it has to be registered here. There are lots of MN residents that still do the LLC thing, they just keep the rig hidden away and hope nobody snitches them off. Due to my employement (police officer) I decided I didn't want to risk getting accused of tax evasion. When I retire and go full time rv I might reconsider, just to save the yearly plate fees. You can google Montana LLC and you'll find many attorney's that specialize in it for rv owners. You can call one up and they'll tell you if Michigan has any laws that would be similar to MN that would hang you up. That's actually how I found out about MN, I don't spend a lot of time reading the obscure veh. registration statutes.
