In addition to its wide-open skies, roaming grizzlies and world-class fly-fishing, Montana has another lure for Californians: the prospect of a tax dodge.

Much to the displeasure of California law enforcement officials, Montana has become a haven for motor home owners who prefer not to pay the Golden State’s sales tax when they buy their costly coaches. Montana has no sales tax, and recreational-vehicle aficionados are taking a break from their road maps and AAA Trip-Tiks to set up shell corporations in the state.

The grand prize winner of Camping World’s RV Makeover Contest is Tom & Karen Moulton of Citrus Heights, CA. Tom & Karen have won a $20,000 makeover package for their 1973 Timberline.

For 17 years we’ve been shanghaied and drug off by lots of wonderful foster children. Many have had mental or physical challenges but still show us no mercy. Downs syndrome, being deaf or having C.P., trumps sore feet. Some are with us for hours or days. Others have stayed years, some we’ve adopted. Every child’s a wonderful challenge and an inspiration.

Be a considerate camper

For many people, caravanning is more than a holiday - it is a way of life they enjoy and look forward to. It can be very disappointing to finally arrive at the caravan park only to have people making your holiday hard to enjoy through inconsiderate or anti-social behaviour.

• Do not cut through other people’s pitches, even if it would make it quicker to get to the toilet block, reception, etc. Walking through another person’s pitch is very intrusive. After all, they have paid for that space and you wouldn’t dream of walking into someone else’s hotel room without permission.

A Winter Checklist

Touring caravans, static caravans and motorhomes.

• Store your caravan/motorhome away from potential hazards, like tall tress or sheds etc. that might blow over.
• Avoid places that are liable to flood. If using a storage site, choose one away from the salt air at the cost.
• Caravan covers may be used, but many experts believe they can cause condensation, which may do more harm than the elements.
• If possible remove interior cushions and curtains and store at home somewhere dry. Otherwise prop up seat cushions with empty boxes and pull away from sidewalls to allow free-flow of air. Store them ‘bottom up’ or cover them to avoid fading in sunlight.
• Remove all food items that might rot or attract vermine.
• Clean and empty all cupboards: leave small doors ajar, but close larger ones to prevent warping.
• Clean and empty refrigerator and leave the door open a few inches for ventilation. Clean and de-grease the hob and oven.
• Drain the water heater and ensure there is no water inside. Blow through the pipes. Leave all taps and drain cocks open.
