Best state to register a Class A RV in?
I'd be curious to get some input on state some of you register your RV in (if not your homestead state) and why. I know there are some that have much better taxes, tag fees, etc. We were just hit...

Registration fees are actually one of the rare places that NY State is pretty reasonable. All non-commercial passenger vehicles (includes motorhomes) over 6951 lbs pay $70 per year.
But then do they charge you personal property tax on the RV? I have a friend who recently bought a boat in California. He was surprised that the registration fee on the boat was so low in this state. I think it's $15 every two years. He didn't realize he was going to get a tax bill from the County Tax Assessor charging personal property taxes on it until I told him.
No, NY does not levy personal property taxes. Some downstate cities or counties do add on a vehicle use tax, but it's not actually a registration fee even though it's collected as a part of the registration process. The tax is typically $15/year as I recall. A few counties also charge a $25/year commuter transportation district fee. For most of us registered in NY though, that $70/year is all we pay.
