Illinois RV Registration Fee Calculator
RV registration in Illinois splits by type. Self-propelled motorhomes register like other motor vehicles — motorhomes have their own RV schedule ($78/$90/$102 by weight) instead of the $151 passenger fee. Towed travel trailers and campers run on a separate schedule: roughly $30 per year. Travel trailers get the RT (recreational trailer) plate: $18/yr up to 3,000 lbs, $30 to 8,000, $38 to 10,000, $50 above — far cheaper than the flat-weight trailer plates. Title $165. Because motorhome MSRPs are large, value-based charges hit RVs harder than any other vehicle class.
