No merely certain sounds like asking for trouble.
It wouldn't be used for commercial purposes

x1Heavy and 77fib77 Thank this.
You can't have a rv pulling a commercial trailer for hire. Even if you lot put Not for Hire on the side, it is withal a commercial vehicle.
You lot can register your truck as an RV, near of the time it has to have a sink, a toilet and some other things mounted inside the sleeper. Simply so you are an RV not a truck at that point.

In one case the rig is registered every bit an RV it is no longer a commercial vehicle as it is now a recreational vehicle

Also my domicile land does not accept a registration classification of commercial trailer a trailer is just a trailer doesnt matter if it 10ft long ane axle or a 53 ft step deck it has the same registration nomenclature

I am Non for rent, I am hauling my ain property. There is no bounty involved

Also information technology is non a requirement to remove the 5th cycle in society to register information technology as an RV

A RV tin can pull a bumper pull car trailer and flat bed trailer.

The rig is registered every bit an RV.... whats the difference with pulling a step deck or lowboy?
Probably should check with your state. What do you movement around recreationally with a lowboy? If yous get pulled over you improve take a good answer and be gear up to become to court.
Tractors, ground forces 6x6 trucks big stuff like that
Trucks that are converted to RV's can get past hauling toys for case race cars, dune buggies, horses but not general alive stock. You put livestock, or anything on a depression boy and are not for hire than a Farm plate is what you need.
I always wondered nearly this.
I always dreamed of having a show truck. Simply register it every bit an RV and drive information technology around to truck shows. No log book, no worries
