I'm not suggesting the buying and selling of a coach. I'm suggesting a business in which the use of the coach is justified, such as consulting, sales, seminars, etc. Anything that can reasonably explain the use of a coach. I used our first coach to do about 20 seminars a year for our major customer, plus I used it to transport me and the entire booth display for trade shows for our company's line of campground equipment. We were on the road a lot for purely business purposes, but we still got to see and enjoy a lot of the country while tending to business.

I paid the NY sales tax, and the TN sales tax on the current one, but I was able to charge off travel expenses and depreciate the coach.

If you are going to try to cheat the taxman you need a very good reason because as state budgets increase they will come after every opportunity to grab taxes, and if they can prove your tax avoidance was in fact evasion then there are penalites involved.
