I live in Texas and would like to register my bus cheaply. My oldest son lives in new mexico,could there be a advantage to
registering there?

I don't think it's a bargain but I may be wrong

cost about 120 a year

May be cheaper to register as an antique vehicle if over 20 years old

Great idea.... I bought a bus and am looking to save some money!! Do you have a problem with paying what everyone else has too? Need help cheating the system? Please pay your own share so that I don't have to pay more.

I live in Texas peewee, I pay for all the illegals to have health care , education, and when they crash into me I pay for that too since they have no insurance.Let's not get into the court system.( common law vs statutory]  The IRS, Federal reserve, required health care edict. I pay every day in this flawed government spinning out of control

Like Rodney King said .... "Can't we just get along?"

hahahahahahaha

Give me a frontal lobotomy or put a bottle in front of me, this is really getting old.  Lot of this is getting to the point of being downright redundant.  All of this talk about how I love my bus, and I wouldn't give up my bus for anything, I don't care what it costs and all that.  Then every other post is how do I do this on the cheap, where can I find this item for next to nothing, I hate the government and my money is worthless.

All this hoopla about this and that and cost seems to be the issue in just about every string.  Now here is the rub, those who read it and then comment on it, always say that cost was not an issue.

They are only fooling themselves, it is all over the place:

"I couldn't go, I have five bad tires."
"I don't trust my engine for anything out of town."
"I don't have the money for a major repair on the road."
"I cannot leave out of my state on a trip."
"I stay close to the home fires,  my friend has a wrecker, he will come get me."
"We are saving alum cans and hoping we can go."
"I will let it go cheep (sp)."

There are those who all say cost doesn't enter into it, but they ALL TALK ABOUT IT in one way shape, form or manner.  Kind of ironic, for a bunch of people who say they do not worry about it, it always seems to be there in some fashion, just under the surface.  Funny how all of have this tool called The Internet at our finger tips, but we rely on others to find it for us?   

I guess it will all work out in the end.  Anything is possible.  You can find a cheap place to tag your bus and then you save the coin.  Until you get stopped and your bus says you live here and your drivers lic. says you live there, this will be the point where the checkbook comes out or the handcuffs go on.  Some folks lament the fact that laws are not enforced and I suppose will really squeal when "they are on the receiving end of some of this."  Which is fine if you subscribe to that particular notion, but here is the bottom line:

Fraud is fraud, and in the end, you will pay one way or the other.

Correct me if I am wrong (and I am sure there are those who will) but I believe it was Colorado not long ago that was aggressively seeking people with RV's that were tagged out of state by Colorado residents who we must assume were trying to save money.  Mississippi called licencing a bus in Montana a "scheme" and was out to find LLC tags and enforce their laws on residents there.  California is reputed to be checking people for diesel fuel stickers (those that are tagged LLC) and enforcing their particular brand of code enforcement.

Best bet is to just bite the bullet and tag the thing where you live. Childish name calling isn't going to cut it ...  If you want to dance ... You have to pay for the band.  I mean "smack my butt and call me Judy" it isn't worth all of this.

There is no free lunch.

This thread is going downhill fast.  Threats and insults towards other members are not acceptable (for anyone wondering, the threat was removed).  I am locking it down for a day for a cooling off period.

I don't know if it is the high temps that ignited this fire or what. It isn't like TexasJack is the first one here to seek a lower cost registration state.

And ChopperScott isn't the first one to view it as wrong.  Which legally it is by Texas law unless you change your official state of residency (e.g. change drivers license, income tax address, business licenses as appropriate, insurance/Social Security/Medicare, etc.). 

They are one of the first states that went after folks setting up out of state LLC's to "own" their RV's.  Now days, if you are caught in Texas with a Texas drivers license and a vehicle registered in another state it can get pretty expensive and the vehicle can get impounded I hear.
