South Carolina RV Registration Fee Calculator

RV registration in South Carolina splits by type. Self-propelled motorhomes register like other motor vehicles — motorhomes register like passenger vehicles: $40 per 2 years plus county property tax. Towed travel trailers and campers run on a separate schedule: roughly $10 per 2-year cycle. Camper/travel trailer plates are just $10 per 2 years — but the county property tax on the RV's value must be paid before registering, and that's the real cost. Because motorhome MSRPs are large, value-based charges hit RVs harder than any other vehicle class.
