No, most of TC owners don't. Unless you live in a state that classifies pickup trucks as commercial vehicles like CA and I'm sure a few others.
Some states tag by registered gvw, some don't.
This thread is another great example of 9 pages of solutions to a problem that doesn't exist.
He!!, I haven't titled/ registered or bought tabs yet for the TC since 2013 (WA requires it). I'm not paying tax again on an old used clapped out piece of "cargo" and a yearly fee to allow it to sit in my shop 49 weeks out of the year, lol.
Somehow seem to have a spare current year sticker off of something to slap on the old tag on the camper.
There's a point of diminishing returns on some things and my roi on this is I'm about $3000 ahead of the game on the camper alone compared to what WA would have sucked out of me for the privlege of using my camper. That's a lot of fix it tickets for not having a tab on a camper, "IF" I was actually in a situation where a cop decided to run the camper tag.
More true than false..
Idaho is just weird about truck campers and registration..If you had a TC before 2009 it is cargo but if you bought one after 2009,it needs an RV sticker and needs to be titled..The truck plates go on the TC as there are no plates given out for a TC, but by gollie there is that yearly RV sticker that needs to be on the TC...I think that is for like forest service sites or something..I really do not understand why???
So my TC rides around in the back of the pickup going to the store or for a short fishing trip for the day or whatever..Why would I need an RV sticker as itis just cargo..
It's all a ploy to drain your pocket book it seems...
Motorhomes/fifth wheels travel trailers are all licenced with plates and you can't just renew the plates without renewing the RV sticker but the TC does not have plates, so I guess were on the honor system to renew the RV sticker...
Like I said..Idaho is weird about truck campers and registration.
