Other Fees:

When considering the cost and one of these classes of recreational vehicles, it is important to take in all accounts of other fees that will come along with the RV, which include registration, insurance, hitch cost, fuel cost, and other amenities that are important to buy for protection and security.

Take a look at some of the other expenses that you’ll have to incorporate to ensure that your new travel vehicle is covered for safety, and to get the true cost of any class trailer:

Registration and Taxes: Registration: $81 – $318 / Taxes: 7%

Registration is the official legal paperwork that shows ownership of the recreational vehicle. The registration for each RV that is obtained has the ability to prove that you are the entity that proves that you can drive the vehicle. Also, the cost of each RV has taxes attached to it.

The taxes are government-issued payments that are attached to the overall price of the RV. The tax rate is based on the state government and is structured like other commodity products at the national standard rate of 6% or 7%.

Insurance: $376 – $512

Insurance is a big must when considering the cost of an RV. The insurance provides protection for both the travel trailer and the people driving it; without it, there could be implications to owning and driving the vehicle.

There are several different types of insurance to consider that cover different parts of the vehicle. Whether its motor, maintenance, drivers, or even cross-country, the insurance is necessary to enjoy the open road safely and securely.

Hitch Cost: Installation: $200 – $500 / Price: $200 – $600

The hitch is part of the RV that allows you to attach other structures to the RV. Other items include smaller cars, other forms of transportation, or even a smaller trailer! Hitches typically have to be installed by either you or a professional. If you are capable of hooking it up yourself, you could save a few bucks.

There are different types of hitches that can be connected hitch, such as gooseneck, as well as other standards hitches. Because of the hitch and the labor that comes with it, different types of hitches cost different prices. Because of this, the overall cost of an RV will fluctuate based on the hitch that you desire, or what the recreational vehicle needs.

Fuel Cost: $500 – $750

You’ll need gas if you want to use your RV, so expect to create a budget for fuel cost. The basis of how much you’ll be using for fuel depends on the type of RV you have, and the type of fuel that it requires.

Another factor for fuel cost is the total distance that you’ll be traveling. If you are in your city, then fuel will be much lower; and if you are going across your country, then the cost could exceed the budgeted amount.

Camping and Overnight Cost: $30 -$50 Per Night / $500 – 900 Per Month

If you have an RV, then you’ll camp, and that costs money. The average cost can be 40 dollars per night, depending on where you choose to stop and rest. Rest stops that you find on the road are also popular areas for overnight camping, and do come at a rate that is determined at the discretion of the owners.

Camp sites may be a bit more pricey because they have more security for you and your recreational vehicle, but can grant you peace of mind.

Maintenance and Repair Cost: $120 Per Month / $1,440 Per Year

Maintenance is very important for traveling in your RV. Most dealers will provide you with the option to obtain a maintenance plan that covers certain aspects and structural parts of the travel trailer. Repair cost only comes into play when something fails with the maintenance.

When repair is needed, cost depends on the apparatus that needs to be fixed, as well as the parts and labor associated with fixing the structure. Manufactures may also provide you with an included maintenance plan depending on the company you buy it from.

Cost to Store RV: $75 – $450 Per Month / $600 -$5,400 Per Year

Storage for any RV is an expense that comes with the vehicle’s territory. Open lots with borders, as well as storage units, or garages are all considered forms of storage for recreational vehicles. Manufacturers, companies, or even you can find a unit that can house your recreational vehicle from potential theft and/or damages.

Other RV storages have special features that could help your RV keep its integrity, including unheated indoor storage. If you want to have your RV protected from the winter, a heated RV storage can cost anywhere between 100 dollars and 450 dollars a month.

In the end, prices correlate to the size of the RV and the amenities that you want included within the storage unit.
