Hello to all!
My wife and I live in Oregon and have owned a 38' 3260 EL Bighorn 5th wheel for many years. It is registered here in Oregon.
We recently went to a RV Resort in Palm Springs, CA (Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs) and purchased a RV lot with a 40' DRV Elite Suites on the property. We now are proud owners of the RV and the lot in which it resides.
Now the rub. We plan on living in the California RV 6 months (or less) due to the weather constraints (heat), and then live in our house here in Oregon the other 6 months or more. Our Bighorn will still be used to travel with.
The DRV Elite Suites is up on blocks and basically is permanent (however could move it if needed. Tires are still attached).
Our kicker is it cost a mint to register the RV in CA, and we want to register it here in Oregon (about 10 times less expensive). I am a 100% disabled Veteran with no intentions of living in CA full time ever.
At the RV resort we have seen many rigs in the same situation as ours that have out of state plates or in some instances, no plates at all on the RV.
Anyone been in a similar situation and can provide some much needed feedback? I sure would appreciate it. We are at the point where we need to move on this, and want to make the right decision.
Thanks in advance to all,
DmgGuy
