Iowa RV Registration Fee Calculator

RV registration in Iowa splits by type. Self-propelled motorhomes register like other motor vehicles — motorhomes have their own class table: Class A coaches $120–$400/yr by original list price (dropping ~25% after 5 years), van conversions $90, Class C $110. Towed travel trailers and campers run on a separate schedule: roughly $72 per year. Travel trailers pay 30¢ per square foot of floor space annually (dropping to 75% after 6 model years) — a 30×8-ft trailer is $72/yr. Title $35 (raised 2025). Because motorhome MSRPs are large, value-based charges hit RVs harder than any other vehicle class.
