M6 Toll cost for a motorhome
Almost every motorhome and campervan is Class 4 on the M6 Toll: £20.20 contactless or £17.60 Breeze for the full 27-mile route. Tag-axle motorhomes and any motorhome towing pay the Class 5 rate at £20.90 (or £18.20 Breeze). Weight does not come into it.

Common motorhome types and their class
The operator classes by wheels, axles and height at the first axle only. On every van-based or coachbuilt motorhome the cab sits over the front axle, so the measured height is well over 1.3 metres and the only question left is the axle count.
- Panel van conversion (Transit, Sprinter, Crafter, Ducato base): Class 4. Two axles, cab well over 1.3 m at the front axle.
- Low-profile coachbuilt (Bailey, Adria, Hymer T-Class): Class 4.
- Over-cab coachbuilt (luton with bed over the cab): Class 4.
- A-class coachbuilt (full body, no van cab visible): Class 4 with two axles, whatever the weight.
- Tag-axle (six-wheel) motorhome: Class 5. Three axles.
- RV / American motorhome: Class 4 with two axles, Class 5 with a tag axle.
- Car-derived micro-camper (Berlingo, Caddy base): usually Class 2, if it measures under 1.3 m at the front axle.
- Any of the above towing a trailer or a car: Class 5.

The motorhome-specific calculation
A motorhome typically gets 20 to 26 mpg on a steady motorway run, and 10 to 16 mpg in stop-start congestion. Avoiding 30 minutes of M6 crawl on the toll typically saves £5 to £8 in fuel in a Class 4 motorhome, on top of the time saving. The £20.20 toll is then closer to a £14.20 net cost after fuel savings.
