Registration in Montana

[GiaPK]

I’ve been doing research on registering our new Airstream in Montana. Several years ago, this was a common practice. Does anyone have any recent experience?

We had also thought about registering in Montana but read the rvtailgatelife article. In addition, I was looking at the 2022 Globetrotter owner's manual and found this sentence: "Any travel trailer used other than for temporary recreation purposes, including, but not limited to, use of the travel trailer for residential, rental, business and commercial purpose or any travel trailer purchased by, registered by, or titled in the name of a business association (such as any LLC, corporation, or partnership)," is NOT covered under the Airstream Implied Warranty.

GCJ, that statement in the owner’s manual about warranties being voided if the AS is owned by a company, is why we did not go the Montana route. We sucked it up and just about had heart failure when we paid the $5,500 property taxes in our county. I would love to know how that compares to what others have paid. I think it’s outrageous.

We are planning on just over $10,000 in sales tax so a bitter pill to swallow. On the other hand, it is the law and we are pretty fortunate in Utah.
