Let me ask this. On the pump sticker it says the "Declared Weight". I looked at the definition and it says that this is the weight that is posted on your registration when you licence the vehicle. Even though my coach's GVW is over 26k my registration declared weight is zero. Does this mean anything?
According to some information I found on an old thread, somebody was told by an AZ official that motorhomes registered in AZ were exempt if the declared was listed at 0 since apparently that's what most are. However, that still raised the old problem of every time people post what they were told my AZ officials, they are getting different answers.
"Declared Vehicle Weight" is a term that is used in the commercial trucking industry. In California the statute specifically says Declared Weight only applies to commercial vehicles used for hire. In AZ the stature apparently says if your vehicle doesn't have a Declared Weight then the GVWR is what applies. So according to the one source on here since AZ does give you a declared weight of 0 on motorhomes, then the tax doesn't apply. But take that for what's worth. My California registration for my motorhome doesn't have a weight of any type listed on it.
