Sorry man, you're the one not reading the law correctly. In fact you're INTERPRETING what is written. You incorrectly interpret a passenger carrying vehicle as a bus, which it is, but so is your RV. Here's the correct text and definitions directly from Arizona MVD.

AZ 28-5601

17. "Light class motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle that uses use fuel on the highways in this state but EXCLUDES a road tractor, truck tractor, truck or passenger carrying vehicle having a declared gross vehicle weight of more than twenty-six thousand pounds or having more than two axles.


37. "Use class motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle that uses use fuel on a highway in this state and that is a road tractor, truck tractor, truck or passenger carrying vehicle having a declared gross vehicle weight of more than twenty-six thousand pounds or having more than two axles.

Says nothing about 20 or more...sorry, an RV in excess of 26,000# or more than 2 axles is a Use class motor vehicle.....Dennis

Dennis is exactly correct. The posting at the pump is very clear. The posting details ALL exceptions. An example would be non-profits. A non-profit is exempt. They could be driving a tank and as long as it is registered to a non-profit organization, they are exempt from the tax. If they had intended to include RVs they would have listed them just as they did all other exceptions. They also detail exactly what is included. Any vehicle over 26,000 lbs or more than two axles.

My guess is that most here that continue to argue the point that RVs are exempt have never even read the posting at each pump.
