What is cheaper in VA private bus or RV title/insurance

I am trying to title my Goshen Bus.
It is a 1998 Goshen Sentry
It is basically a Class A RV made into a bus.
Some were made as mobile offices, some as tour buses, and some as RVs.
It seems like the RV option would be the easiest way to go and properly the cheapest yearly.

It will never be used commercially or to generate income.

Does anyone know if the privately owned bus registeration is the same yearly cost as the RV plates?

The GVWR is 23000 pounds.

Is a privately owned bus cheaper to insure then a RV?

Thanks for your time.

think anywhere you go an RV will always be cheaper than a bus for insurance or registration

In California the bus registration costs about $1,200 per year and the exact same vehicle registered as an RV cost me $119 per year. Gross vehicle rating is 36,500 lbs.
