manholt Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Piperfrank1. Welcome to the Forum! New CC? Last one off the line was a 2010 built in 2009....not aware of a 2017 or 18, unless it's by Winnebago! Other than that, I agree with Herman! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Is he talking about a 2018 Country Coach (not even sure they make New coaches now) or a 1999 new to him Country Coach. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted October 16, 2017 To answer the OP's questions. 1. Title it in the state you claim as your domicile, you know, where you file your tax return, etc. 2. As far as insurance, I would suggest you do your due diligence and purchase the policy that makes most sense and cents to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlAda Report post Posted October 16, 2017 Winnebago owns CC property rights. They have not produced a CC to date and there aren't current plans to do so (made public, anyway). There has been ONE Country Coach produced since the 2010 and that was a 2017 special production for the then owner of Country Coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 16, 2017 CarlAda. Your correct and I think it was an Allure, the only thing I don' remember (It was in FMCA magazine) is the year...I want to say 2015, before WB bought the rights! Also, feel that it was For Sale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted October 17, 2017 Piperfrank1. I take it your not going full time, so I suspect your making a property move as well as your new coach(it really does not matter what coach you have). Lowest property tax State that I know. Is LA., Insurance....I have Progressive now, have had All State, they cost about the same and pay quickly! Title is bad in Texas, it's by the weight of the coach. Mine is $811 per year! Unfortunately, I have found no place that all 3 gel. I think Montana is the closest to perfect you can get for all 3 questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I am titled in Montana under an LLC. Older coaches, a great deal, one time permanent registration, no sales tax or other annual fees. Yearly fee to maintenance the LLC still way less than where we live. Insurance is through Miller insurance, advertises in FMCA and was a player at FMCA rally in Chandler, very good. Happy all the way around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 17, 2017 Bill E. We have been down the LLC before this and it depends on where you travel the most. East Coast seem to be the most problematic, in regards to being stopped, for not stopping at the weight stations, as a Commercial vehicle & the fine can run into the thousands! The Law is not Stupid. There are 1million people living in Montana, as of 2016....The Lawmen of the other States are not going to believe that 7-10% of the population of Montana has Motorhomes! It worked 15/20 years ago, but I think now, it has started to reach the Saturation point. Lawmen also have RV's today & get the same advertisement we do! I don't like paying $800 a year, but I adopted Texas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfe10 Report post Posted October 17, 2017 I believe Carl is pointing out that rules for RV's registered as COMMERCIAL VEHICLES (registered to LLC) are different than for those registered to individuals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted October 17, 2017 This brings up a question about RV registered as Commercial Vehicles. If you have your coach Reg. as a C/V do you need a CDL to drive legally? Do you have to comply with all of the driving regulations such as maximum hour driving per 24 hour period, Log books, Weight Stations and so on?

hermanmullins Report post Posted October 17, 2017 How many folks that have their coaches registered as a Montana LLC have a CDL? I would be willing to bet way less than 1%. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 17, 2017 That is why they have fines! If there is a spot check station set up, for any reason...I'm OK and on my way. Had a bunch in and around Houston, TX. a couple of years ago and all traffic was pulled in, including me on 3 occasions. They where checking tires, license plates and inspection stickers...with me, they asked to see my DL with A or B endorsement. I have a B and a MC. Good to go!

tbutler Report post Posted October 17, 2017 Great discussion. I've learned something. I didn't know that Country Coach was history. I have enough trouble keeping up with Monaco. So who is on first? Yes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

five Report post Posted October 19, 2017 You must be very careful as to where you live, where the coach is tagged, what state your DL says on it and how often and how long you travel out of state. My state got smart and noticed lots of RVs that were always in the area, but had Montana tags. Long story short, those drivers that lived here but had Montana tags paid huge fines, all the back taxes that they had avoided and interest on the taxes they paid that were "late."
