BudJ: According to the guy we talked to at the BMV (State Bureau of Motor Vehicles) we have a choice of registering it either as a personal vehicle or as an RV because it is a van chassis. We thought that was kinda strange, as the excise tax is higher on an RV so more money for the state. But the BMV guy also said a VIN inspection is required at time of registration, so maybe when they see it's an RV they'll require us to register it accordingly??
But if we have a choice, of course we'd rather go the less expensive route, all other things being equal. Which is what we'd like to know: are there any other reasons why registering as an RV is more favorable than registering as a personal vehicle?
We welcome your input as we are new to the RVing lifestyle. Thanks!
