This is a common problem on the Chesapeake Bay. Boat owners would dock and title their boats in Delaware, where the fees were the least. But then they would bring them into Maryland or Virginia on a nearly permanent basis.
Maryland dealt with that by a time-spent-in-state measure. And when something like that is done, the resulting law is constitutional. It then is not a charge for crossing a state line. Instead, it is for staying in/using the services of the state for a certain period of time.
