Good to know
Per the DMV page: 'Recreational vehicles, motor homes, and fifth wheel trailers must be registered and titled by the DMV. All registration requirements, fees and taxes are identical to other vehicles.' Gasoline RVs/motor homes must pass emissions in urban Clark and Washoe Counties; all RVs are exempt from odometer reporting. Large vehicles may require special driver license classes. Recreational park trailers/'park models' up to 400 sq ft are titled by the DMV but registered/taxed by County Assessors like manufactured homes.

General guidance
A motorized RV registers like any other motor vehicle in almost every state, but towable RVs (travel trailers, fifth wheels) sometimes fall under trailer rules instead. Pick your state below for the exact process and agency.
Because it has its own engine and VIN, a motorhome generally goes through the same title-and-register process as any passenger vehicle at your state’s motor vehicle agency, just at a higher fee tier reflecting its weight and value.
Because of their size and age range, some states require an additional safety, weight, or emissions inspection for motorhomes that a passenger car would not need. Check the state guide below for whether that applies.
A travel trailer or fifth wheel with no engine of its own is registered as a trailer in most states — sometimes under the same rules as any other trailer, sometimes under a dedicated RV weight class. The state guide below notes which applies.
