People need to get over the word "commercial". It is just a word. It is not the best word when it comes to RVers with pick up trucks because we see the word "commercial" and automatically assume that it means it is being used for business purposes. That is why there are those sections that state "personal use" as JaxDad mentions.
Shum - in this conversation it doesn't matter what my truck's RGW is on my ownership. Law enforcement knows that a dually pick up meets the legal definition of a commercial vehicle and must have an yellow inspection sticker on it. When I was pulled over in Kitchener, I did not have a yellow sticker on my trucks up til then. The officer told me he pulled me over because he did not see the yellow sticker that he knew I needed to have. I have the yellow sticker now. I have decided that it is better to have the sticker than not have the sticker and that means paying for an annual inspection. Who knows, maybe during the inspection they will find a potential issue, advise me of it, I get it fixed, it saves my life or my wife's life. A happy ending. A small price to pay in my opinion.
You can choose to do what you want with respect to the sticker. But regardless of what you do, keep in mind that the law requires the yellow sticker if the "total gross weight, registered gross weight or manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of more than 4,500 kg require an annual inspection."
