But according to all the above posts 5 tons are not in those categories. Yes you can register it as a MV but you can't use it any way you want legally. And you still can't legally drive it without the CDL. I was hoping I could do exactly as you said, but members here have shown me that is not legal.

Sounds like a good story.

Do you know the cost to register it as a regular vehicle. It has to be at least a few hundred a year.

Lots of exhibitions.

So it sounds like I have to get my CDL, man that sucks. I can still register it FMV? And I can use it how ever I want? **** I hate government BS.

Do you have a link to this? Never mind, I found it. It is under taxes.

I don't believe a bed or place to cook is a requirement for an RV. Recreational can mean lots of things. "relating to or denoting activity done for enjoyment when one is not working."

Right, but this is an exemption. It is for recreational use. Class A or B non CDL should be legal. I don't see why not. Here is the part "Operators of recreational vehicles driven for personal use". I could also get a farm exemption, but I want to keep it completely stock. No plates. A...

Why do you have to get a CDL? That is only required for commercial vehicles. I do plan on getting my Class B license, but it won't be a CDL. After I get a trailer that can carry more than 10k lbs then I will get my Class A, but it still wont be a CDL. I don't see anything that say you need a...

It still would not be CDL, but it would require a Class B or A license. This is too confusing. I guess I will know a lot more next week.

So you are saying I would not need a Class B? But I can still get one? Trying to make sure I understand. If they do what you are saying then a Class C is fine. My title will be here any day now. So I will see what happens after I register it.

This is a license, not registrations. FMV registration here is only 11 bucks a year, and has no weight issues. But to legally drive it you need to have the right drivers license. A class C is not a legal license for these trucks in Texas.

Yeah, I understand the M105 does not meet that requirement. Thanks. Only question I have now is that CARNAC stated you have to use a civilian tractor trailer. I am trying to find that in the laws. I want to have all my info when I go in there. That is if I can borrow a trailer with a pintle and...

Can I take the B test with the 5 ton? This is a very small town, I am hoping she will use common sense. Do you know what law they are referring to that say you can't use the 5 ton? I would like to see how it is written. Going to see if I can find it.

I want to get the Class A, but she said I can't take the test unless I have a trailer that has a GVWR of over 10k pounds to pull during the test. The only pintle trailer I have is the M105.

Thanks will try to send him a message.

Thanks found it using Control F. That is a huge help.

Control F? Let me see what that does. It helped me find transfer case, but nothing came up when I typed in GVWR

Thanks, I am going to try to get my Class B. This lady seems to know what she is talking about, she gave me the book to study to take it. Just not sure what she is going to say when I have no tag to show her. I guess I will just print out a copy of the Tm posted above.

I still don't know how you find that stuff that fast. I can search for hours. I am used to manuals, I am a helicopter mechanic, but these electronic ones just kick my butt. Our electronic manuals for the aircraft are much easier to use. I want a paper copy bad.
