Claiming tax on RV if its my permanent address

[disneykid52]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I bought an RV (travel trailer) which I am living in it full time as my permanent address. Can I claim the interest I paid when I file my taxes next year (and the following years)?

If it has sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities and you are living in it, then a mobile home can qualify. See the Pub 936 http://www.irs.gov/publications/p936

There is no requirement that it be lived in (it can be treated as a second home.)

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

**A: correct, but my post was not meant to state that without the 1098 the interest would not be a valid deduction. It would be as FlyingRon posted.
I merely wanted to know if the 1098 was issued to the OP.

That is the true definition of a mobile home.
