HiDid a search but couldn't find my answer. The question; I have a pickup with a truck camper. My ezpass will charch the car rate with the camper on which is fine. I will be towing a utilty trailer ,14', with 2 axels. I know they count axels. Should I get a separate ezpass for when I have the camper and am towing the trailer? I don't want to end up being charged a tractor trailer rate. Can you register in some way your rig specs to an ezpass account to avoid overcharges? Is there a recreational vehicle rate opposed to a commercial one? Thanks.

We just use our regular ez pass and have always been charged for the truck & camper.

Seems different states have different rules. Some (most?) require a special ezpass for towing trailers, that lets you change vehicle configuration, the normal automobile ones don't apparently?Towing my single axle camper west last winter, I was on the Chicago Skyway long enough to pass a single toll plaza, I went through the ipass / cash lane, and the toll taker said my ezpass had registered the correct amount. I thought it odd, since I only have the automobile ezpass.

From PA E-ZPass FAQI sometimes pull a camper or trailer with my vehicle.Can I still use my transponder? Yes. On the Pennsylvania Turnpike, if the weight of the camper or trailer pushes you into a higher class of vehicle, the higher toll will be charged to your account. If you are traveling on other E-ZPass agency toll roads or bridges, please contact the appropriate agency for further information. Refer to the list participating agencies on FAQ # 2.I would think NY E-ZPass would be the same but as the above says you may want to check with them.

I guess it would depend on where you are traveling. I live in New Jersey and all of our tollroads charge the same high rate for a four axle truck and camper as they would for a four axle commercial truck. The only time I ran into a different per axle pricing in my travels was when I took Route I 78 to Pennsylvania. I was charged a higher than expected truck rate but one quick phone call and it was resolved.
