Check out how much license plates are for the particular unit. It has astounded me some of the prices people pay for plates/tabs.
Vehicle registration fees vary widely from state to state. RV's usually take the biggest hit in those states that asses registration fees based on the value. Weight based registration fees tend to be much lower. States that impose personal property taxes on RV's is another annual cost issue to consider. NY State is not known for being tax friendly, but when it comes to vehicle registration fees, it's a different story. Private passenger vehicles, including mixed use motorhomes, pay by weight up to 6950 lbs, and a flat $70/year fee above that. There is no personal property taxes, although some counties do collect additional specialty fees at registration time, that can bring the total to $100 or so. Many other states are not as economical...
Yes but, NY has very high INCOME tax and if you own real estate it has the highest real estate taxes. They don't get you goin' but they got you comin' what you save in registration fees, they take back in spades elsewhere. EX New Yorker (I hope)
