Massachusetts RV Registration Fee Calculator
RV registration in Massachusetts splits by type. Self-propelled motorhomes register like other motor vehicles — motorhomes get the Auto Home plate: a flat $50/yr — cheaper than registering a car. Municipal excise tax on the coach's value still applies. Towed travel trailers and campers run on a separate schedule: roughly $80 per year. Travel trailers use the trailer plate formula: $20 per 1,000 lbs of gross weight annually ($20 minimum; typical 4,000-lb trailer shown). All trailer plates expire November 30. Because motorhome MSRPs are large, value-based charges hit RVs harder than any other vehicle class.
