    SF97 RV Registration?

    she did say that they had to be affixed to the truck she said that installing the sleeper and bungee strapping the microwave in place is fine. She said that unless they get the feeling that you truly intend to use it for commercial purposes they are not too critical. For me that is easy since...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    UPDATE!! I drove down to the state trooper inspection station and had a nice conversation with the inspector. She told me that to be considered an RV in Washington State that the vehicle had to have two out of three items. A designated place to sleep, a means to cook food(microwave or stove)...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    Yeah I have been looking for a small sleeper to put 110v, porta john, microwave, and heat to meet the RV criteria. I was wanting to mount my knuckle boom and still have a 12 ft bed but I don't think it will be possible. I don't know how much frame you have behind the cab but with all that it...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    yep, I am back on the RV setup now for sure, the guys from olympia called me back and said that even if I could get the truck below 26k with it being a truck the gvw has to be the truck + 50% and that is how they rate it so a CDL is required. I will keep you posted on how smooth the RV...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    Yeah sounds like the RV is the way to go, maybe if I spell out Recreational Vehicle on the SF97 they will leave it alone. Not to mention that with my business I intend to keep this thing looking extremely military so I do not intend on stopping at weigh stations anyway!!:driver::cookoo:

    SF97 RV Registration?

    when I have registered deuces and 5 tons in the past I have just told them how much it weighed and that was what they put on the title, they have no idea what any of this stuff is. Especially when on your SF97 you can put down any weight you want on it and just present that to the DOL.

    SF97 RV Registration?

    After looking at the WA Matrix a little more I think I am in the clear, if I remove the 5th wheel and sell in to Soni ;) then I am no longer a combination vehicle. Curb weight is 30k, I am ditching the drop axle and some extra stuff and I can fudge the weight #'s a little on the registration I...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    In WA state they use to allow semi's to register as an RV and within the last 5 years or so realized the lost revenue potential and stopped doing it, now I think that anyone who already had it done was grandfathered so I know there are a lot of them still running around the state. The DOT told...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    I purchased my M920 and WA state's DOT, DOL, DMV dept do not have the same views on things. My desire it to register my truck as an RV toter but the state says they will not convert a commercial truck title to RV without an inspection and I have to have a toilet and a bed to be an rv. So my...
