Wow - great article. If I was a resident of Iowa who'd registered my RV in Montana, I'd be real worried right now. I'd have to consider moving or paying up.
Colorado did the same thing about 5-6 years ago. Caught a lot of people with Colorado driver's license and homes and Montana plates on their vehicles. Millions into the state coffers and I don't see many Montana plates around much except in campgrounds.
Hmmmm ... wonder if the enforcement costs were higher or lower than the revenue generated? Based on what government usually costs versus the revenue, probably no easy answer.
But I'd have no problem betting it wasn't much gain for Colorado in the long run - maybe good return at first, but once the 'RV folks" figure it out, it won't last long - and the 'agency' will continue ad infinitum ...
