Q: Should I wait until 02 Jan to purchase or buy it before the end of Dec?
Thanks!

Where are you going to register it? Wherever it is registered is where you will pay tax I'm sure. I am assuming you are talking property tax vs sales tax. I have "property" (land/buildings) in several states and pay "property" taxes on them in the respective states. I have "personal property" (cars/boats/etc) registered in 2 states; neither has a personal property tax. I have lived in a state that did have a "personal property" tax and they taxed anything you owned right down to silverware - it was a horrendous nightmare and I left the 2nd year.
If you miss one year of personal property tax on the RV if purchased after Jan 1 it might make sense to hold off if that tax rate is enough to worry about.
