RV Ownership in Pennsylvania: Registration and Insurance Basics
Pennsylvania is a fantastic state for RV travel — from the Delaware Water Gap to the Pocono Mountains. Before you hit the road, your RV or motorhome must be properly registered and insured. PennDOT's vehicle registration division handles all RV registrations, and authorized agents like Jordan's Auto Tags can process them same-day.
Types of RVs and Their Registration Requirements
- Class A Motorhomes — largest RVs, built on heavy-duty chassis, registered as motor vehicles with fees based on weight
- Class B Motorhomes (Camper Vans) — smallest motorized RVs, registered as passenger vehicles or trucks depending on weight
- Class C Motorhomes — mid-sized, registered based on gross vehicle weight
- Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels — require separate registration as trailers, with fees based on weight
- Pop-up campers and truck campers — requirements vary depending on size and weight
Documents Needed for RV Registration
To register an RV in Pennsylvania, you will need proof of ownership, proof of insurance, a completed registration application, and payment for fees and taxes. Review the PennDOT registration requirements for your specific vehicle type.
RV Insurance: What You Need
Standard auto insurance policies typically exclude RVs — so you need a specialized RV insurance policy. The RV Industry Association recommends coverage that includes liability, collision and comprehensive, personal belongings coverage, emergency expense coverage, and full-timer coverage if you live in your RV.
