Don't know if this helps, but here in Connecticut, we register the truck for the GVW. "Non commercial" (i.e. campers, landscapers etc...) not used in commerce , are a flat rate regardless of weight. As long as you don't exceed truck weight.. you're good to go!

Good Luck,

In North Carolina you only have to tag the truck for enough to cover the weight of the truck and the weight carried in the bed not the hold trailer. The DMV told you wrong.

Go to NC division of motor vehicles, vehicle registration section title manual. section2 chapter1-page3. Camping Trailer and Fifth wheels. Camping trailers are not to be included in the weight declared for license on a truck, if used only for recreational purposes. License weight on the truck should include the tongue part that is in the truck only, not full weight of camper.

Texas, about $70 on either 17 Honda Pilot and 12 Ram DRW. 5th is about $130, based on its gvwr. Texas also has non-cdl if combined or single is over 26k. I have the non-cdl class A.

Me too, garage envy is a real thing.

I just got the plates/tags for my "new to me" Dodge Ram 3500 with
the special "Honorably Discharged" plates on it (carried over from my
last truck) it cost me $336.

On my old (2015) motorhome at 3 yrs old tags ran $1100.

Bolo4u, your $1250 tags for your truck is just one more reason I moved
away from California 4 years ago. Did not like $5 a gallon diesel prices
either.

We have not taken delivery of the 5th wheel yet and since it is a 6 month
old repo that we are buying for about 1/3 of new cost I'm hoping for a
bit lower cost on the tags.

Relocating is something we are exploring, in the next few years. So far diesel prices have stayed manageable in my part of California (Northern). There is an indian casino about 1 mile from my place, and they just installed a large gas station and RV park. Their fuel prices across the board are much cheaper, per gallon, cheaper than driving the extra couple miles into town. Plus, they have DEF at the pump!

Close, but not totally correct.

You do not have to declare ANY of the weight from an RV Camping Trailer in your weighted tag weight rating. You do have to include any other weight you carry in the bed of the truck.

Now, if you also have a utility trailer that you haul stuff around on you need to consider that weight when you select your weighted tag rating.

When I transferred the tags from SC to NC I was ready to pay the big bucks but the DOT office in Franklin explained it well.

My weighted tag only covers what I think I will be carrying in the truck and on my utility trailer.

Just FYI for folks in other states comparing tag prices, in North Carolina the registration fee includes city and/or county property tax on the vehicle, so comparisons with other states may be misleading. Also the fee would vary from county to county, depending on local tax rates.

So I would need tags to cover my truck and the enclosed motorcycle trailer and what ever is in the trailer, but just the truck not the camper.

So the be clear the tongue weight of the fifth wheel isn't counted? Reading and understanding regulations isn't my strong suit so that's why I asked the DMV in person and both reps at the counter said I had to include the weight of my camper.

I'm in NC and that's my understanding as well.

Glad Michigan does not do it that way. We pay a flat fee for our plates on the TT and do not have to pay again unless we are plating a new one. I think it is the same for any trailer, Utility etc. One time fee. Now the plates on my Ram are another thing. The plates on my Ram are 217.00 per year and if I remember correctly they are going up this year.
