There should be a data plate somewhere in the coach

These fees are based on the weight and year of the vehicle.
(GVWR) plus AGE (split schedule 0-9 yrs and 10+ yrs)

Unless things have changed since I registered in SD back in '03, they wanted dry shipping weight.

I suggest the OP call the treasurer's office to verify.

I could not get the unloaded weight but if you can find it you will save money. I had to go to a weigh station and weigh the coach so I paid a bit more than I would have needed to if I had the correct information.

They want dry shipping weight also known as UVW (unloaded vehicle weight)

When we registered our Hurricane they wanted the weight from the manufacturer's certificate. This is typically the GVWR.

Most likely GVWR.
