RV Purchase- Tax, title, tags and fees

[LWD]

Hey one more question...if the tag says GVWR 10800, then how do I figure out the tow weight of the trailer itself?

Not more than 10,800. There should be a dry or empty weight listed, which will be less than the GVWR. The GVWR is the max weight. The difference between the two is how much stuff you can put in it. Don't put enough stuff in it such that you exceed the GVWR. Remember that includes the water tanks.

That's what I'm trying to find.

If it is $10,000 and you are going to pay cash, offer them the $10,000 out the door price. That includes all taxes and fees. Simple solution.

On vehicles or RV's I always do the out the door price, not a price then all the other stuff added at the end.

X2. This this with my boat. Told them what my top dolor was and the made it work on their side

Is it a 5th wheel or tongue pull...

If 5th wheel figure the pin weight at 20% to 25% of the GVWR...

If tongue pull figure tongue at 10% to 15% of the GVWR...

How much will the trailer weigh loaded... hopefully less than the GVWR...

Give us the model, manufacturer and year and we can look up the dry weight... if you really need it..

Should be listed with the gvwr.

Should be listed with the gvwr.

It wasn't but I found it in the website of the dealer listed at 6,660.


Thanks guys

825.00 in tx. 50.00 title transfer. 36.00 tags. No ther fees.
10911.00 is about what I got figured
Add 7.50 for inspection

Tax on a $10,000 trailer would be $625 at 6.25%.

[Thumper]

10,000 X 6.25 = $625. Then allow an extra $200 for document fees, title & registration, inspection, and make ready.

I just bought one for $12,000. By the time all the fees and taxes were done it was somewhere around $12,800.

What did you buy for $12k if you don't mind me asking? That's what my budget is for an RV.

I do not remember the exact name but it was a 34 foot 5th wheel with 3 big slides and 2 distinct bedrooms. We looked at lots of used and new trailers and finally decided that this was the one for us. It was probably a $60,000 trailer when new. I don't know how quick you are looking to buy but we bought this one because we are getting a house built at the farm. You never know exactly how long these things will go but we will be selling it when the house is done.

Thanks guys

Did you buy a toy hauler? That's a lot of capacity for a conventional travel trailer.

You are correct sir. My bad. I was going by the general sales tax of my area of 8.25 %

X2 ......$10K OTD is your offer after you hear their "best price". But if it were me Id low ball them with $9500 OTD since your paying cash on the barrel.

Should be a label like this somewhere.
