Happy Camper!
to them axle is axle, doesn't matter what it's attached to they want to be paid for it, so yes you have to pay the extra for campers.

Found this in the EZ Pass MD site FAQs
Are there any times I should not use my E-ZPass transponder?
Yes, the following examples are times when you should not use your transponder:
* If you have reported your transponder as lost or stolen, but later find it, call the E-ZPass Maryland Service Center. A new E-ZPass transponder must be issued, even if you find your original device.
* If you know that you do not have sufficient funds in your E-ZPass account.
* If you are using a different class of vehicle (i.e., do not use a transponder assigned to a two-axle vehicle when driving a vehicle with three or more axles or you will be charged full fare for the actual number of axles the system detects. Other restrictions apply at toll agencies in other states).
Can I use my E-ZPass transponder while towing a camper or trailer?
Yes. However, you will be charged the full fare rate for the actual number of axles.
Are motorcycles eligible for an E-ZPass account?
Yes. Motorcyclists are eligible to participate in the E-ZPass program. There is a special mounting device available upon request.

Would THIS face lie?
I am still confused..(doesn't take much)....When I go over the Bay Bridge, I am charged $2.50 for my truck....Then I am charged $2.50 for each trailer axle making my total $7.50.....The way I am reading the above, I will be charged for each axle on my truck and each axle on my trailer...I'm just going to use the thing and see what I am charged...

I think you're going to get charged once for the tow vehicle (2 axles) then an additional axle charge per axle thereafter.

Well that sure sux...That means that I pay $5 for truck and $5 for trailer...
The damn Nice Bridge will get me for $6 for truck and $6 for trailer...That's 12 damn dollars to get across that little rinky dink bridge...Gotta love Md...

No, I meant $3 for the truck like usual for 2 axles, then another $3 per axle for the trailer = $9 for the Nice.

I pay thru the nose when I go to NY with the trailer. Start with the Bay Bridge, then the Jersey turnpike, I get nailed $12 for the Outer Bridge Crossing. Coming back I hit the Verazzano bridge for $15, Jersey turnpike again, and the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Almost as much in tolls as in fuel. Well, now that fuel prices are going way up again, maybe not !!

I did not wade through the whole tread, but this is what I did...
Have three vehicles, all have EZ-Pass... the one for the truck just has the truck information, we also have a travel trailer - did not (nor do I know you can even) register it with EZ-Pass
When I tow my travel trailer, they calculate the correct toll and apply it to the account... When I tow my single axle trailer, they calculate the correct toll again!
If I am not towing the any trailer, they charge just the truck...It is PFM!

The only thing I was not crazy about was sticking them to the window - it kinda bugged me at first, but now I am used to them (just to the right of the rearview mirror)
You can get the kind that goes on the license plate but I was a little paranoid of it getting stolen - probably not a big deal...
The ones that go on the inside you can take in another car (friend or family member) if you want - temporarily that is.

On the Right Side.
The full toll rate is the standard rate not the commuter rate.
I pay 40¢ per trip to the the Baltimore area tolls, FSK Bridge, FMT, & BHT. Someone pulling a trailer would pay the $2.00 rate for the first two axles and what ever the rate is for the additional axle or axles.

Happy Camper!
When we took the 2 axle camper towed by our 2 axle truck to Westmoreland in November it costs me $9 - again we just use the regular ezpass transponder in our windshield and go through the tolls – nothing different than what we would do not towing.
