The two big bills come in August...

Since we bought our 2012 Class C last August it is "that" time again. Just got the bill for insurance and registration, both due next month. I was anticipating the insurance (and at $695 I can live with it), but had forgotten that registration is based upon the value of the motorhome....ouch! We paid $47,000 so our Arizona registration came in at $1,035. :S

Just glad we did not buy something more expensive. The good news is the longer we own it the cheaper the tags will get but always wondered just how much a 100, 150 or even a $300,000 coach comes in at. :h I do know it varies quite a bit from state to state. Anyone care to share?

:B

    Or you could get it registered in a cheaper state. My Voltage was also over a grand. Montana is $282.50 and is based on the age of the RV. Something to look into.

    When I checked my ins co. for full coverage on a class c would be around 3-4 hundred a year. In my state, the initial registration is based on vehicle weight.....ouch... Then you have to get the rig inspected every 2 years, then you have to pay property tax every year based on blue book value or if you can show them the bill of.sale.....
