Forever licience

I just called DMV. In Mo. 26.00 for three yr. and 56.00 for permanent. 5th wheel's only. So it look's like Missouri has one of the lower rates.

Same thing in PA. It's supposed to be for big rig trailers, but a fifth wheel technically counts. Just $127.00 and I never have to register the thing again. It pays for itself in five years.

How long do you intend to keep the trailer? Do the math and see if you'll come out ahead.
I keep my trailers and trucks a long time so I generally get permanent plates. VA allows it for any trailer and for trucks above a certain weight class.
I don't know how much money I've saved over the years but it has been substantial. A side benefit is not having to pay attention to when your tags need to be renewed.

Same thing in Ontario Canada. I plate forever, no renewal.

dbbls, Are you saying Missouri has been issuing these plates for years, if so most of the office's did'nt know it. I have talked 10 or so 5th wheel owners in Mo. and none of them were aware of it, and why just 5th wheels?

Michigan has had that on all trailers for about ten years now, $200 for my 5th wheel trailer , one time pay.

This law has been on the books for several decades. Was passed for big rigs but applies to RV's also.

Makes you wonder who in that legislature has a 5th wheel!

Strange. But in case, strange is good.
