:M:M:M:MWe have a 2016 Rockwood Roo 23ws (this is an hybrid). Every year we have to register the camper and pay the excise tax. Last year, it cost me over $600.00 and this year $486.00. (Price is according to the value of the camper)When I think that our camping season is 5 to 6 months, and knowing that each time we go camping we're on the road one day to get there and one day to come back......this is a rip off ! About 12 days on the road each year, and we have to pay as much as a car we use all year long !I know it's my choice, but I still don't think it's fair!Our Maine government promotes family life, but camping is becoming a luxury.............How many other states have that excise tax....and I'm not talking about motorhomes which are motor vehicles.

Y'mean there's an ADVANTAGE to living in Beautiful Downtown New Jersey?Whod'a thunk....?

lots of states have a property tax on vehicles. cars/boats/RVs, etc. bumpy

I know you don't want to hear this but...Up here in Ontario I payed $32 for the plates on my TT, good for life. Nothing after that except for ins.

What a rip that is. Michigan permanent one time lic plate fee. 0 to 2499 lb is $75.00. 2,499 to 9,999 is $200 and over 9,999 is $300. If the trailer is sold, the new owner then has to buy his permanent plate. It's permanent but actually permanentish. There is also sales tax when it changes hands.

We pay a little less than $400 per yearWhat ever you call it, it's a tax! :( Mike

We pay property tax on our camper. I'm not sure what you mean by an "excise tax" - we pay a registration/license fee every 2 years to the Connecticut state coffers, but it isn't too much, less than $100 - I should look, I think it's like $20.

"Property tax" goes right to my local town hall, and that is a couple hundred dollars. I actually don't begrudge that too much, as at least I can go to a town meeting and complain about spending, making me feel like I have some sort of control over it.

In Georgia my MH was $1200/year. Recently they changed it to a one time sales/use tax.

Here in Utah, we pay property tax on our coach. I also think is a rip off. We paid over $700 last year.
