Thanks Jeff. I was only kidding you guys. I'm from Philly but live in the sticks of New Mexico now, but I do know about toll roads and passes.
Have a great one and...
Happy RVing,
Jeff

If you are westbound from your neck of the woods headed to northern Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc., the Ohio Turnpike (I-80/I-90) is the only expedient way to get across northern Ohio west of Cleveland. If you are not in any hurry at all, there are other routes. Lots of small towns and 35 mph limits!
If you are heading more towards central/southern Indiana and points west you have clear sailing. The only toll road in Ohio is the Ohio Turnpike across the northern part of the state.

My tag worked for the most part last year. I'm wondering if I fried it leaving it in the windshield all summer/winter. Next time I suppose I'll take it with me when I have the rig in storage.

So after talking w/ the folks over at PA EZ Pass, it looks like they're just going to send me a bumper mount tag this time around. That should pretty much solve all my issues.
For those that didn't know (as I didn't), you can request a bumper mount tag.

We had this happen in Florida with the "Sun Pass". It was under the overhang of the Seneca and not read by the reader. Got the notice in the mail and paid the fee with fine. Moved it to low on the windshield and works great. Did the same with the "I-Pass". Used it going to Grand Rapids, this pas week and read just fine.

Did I mount it too low?
Where is yours mounted?

I put mine at the bottom of the windshield ( loose ) about at the middle, made a trip to New Hampshire and went through 2 booths and had no problem at all, booths saw the transponder.

I like the idea, but sure looks like an easy target for the one who like to steal other people's stuff, cause they are too lazy to work for what they want.

Mounted on the bottom of the front license plate holder. Regular pass placed on dashboard would not work for me in Indiana.

For Colorado it's just a sticker on the windshield with electronics in it.

Because we have property and friends 200 miles from home, we use the same route several times per year. With different rigs.
According to the Official Toll Rates, the more axles, the higher the toll.
On the NY Thruway using EZ-Pass, the toll is always the same. My sedan, SWMBO's truck alone, with my old single-axle trailer or the new double-axle trailer. All charged the same to my EZ-Pass account!
On topic: All my EZ-Pass tags are mounted on the windshields in the vicinity of the rear-view mirror. Haven't had read problems in years. (The first-generation tags had issues when the battery was low).
I can understand how a Class C's overhead bunk can cause problems with the RF signal needed to read the tag, necessitating the front mount.

Hi all!
I know this is an old thread, but I figured I could add some new info! 
Called NY EZ-Pass right after Christmas to order my new tag. They issued a specific tag (2 axles / 6 tires: Over 7,000 LBS) It's an ivory (not blue) interior tag. It arrived today.
It shows in my tag list as (2Ax:Recreational Vehicle/ Motor Home: Dual Tire)
For right now I told them I was not towing anything. There is another form / process if I am going to be towing.
The paperwork indicates this is a "Tag specific plan attached to a specific vehicle" it can only be transferred to vehicles of the same type.
I will try placing it in the same spot some of you already indicated and see how it reads before mounting more permanently.
Have a great week!

One of my duties is to install rfid readers on commercial and neighborhood gate systems. The directions are same for all of them I have installed in the last 20 years. The manufacture sends directions with every reader that tells you where to install the particular tag depending on the manufacturer . Some attach to the front plate, some get stuck to the driver's side headlite, and some attach to the inside of the windshield. The rfid reader is supposed to be mounted at approx the same height as the tag. The reader is also supposed to be tilted on the same plane as the surface that the tag is attatched to. You can see how a reader set up for a big truck may not work as well on a compact car. When people start attatching tags willy nilly, is when we have problems with the systems we install/service.
Do these passes come with directions on where they are to be installed?
