I posted early in this thread and did some groundwork, including an email to FMCA and AZ DOT and the Fuel Tax folks (along with "Executive").
Here is how I see the issue. Motor homes are pretty much exempt from any commercial rules, like special driver's licenses and stopping at scales.
I believe there was an omission in the law that should have excluded motor homes, but as some pointed out, it was probably never thought of or thought to be necessary.
Lastly, LEO's, including the Fuel Tax enforcers, often will find a loop hole or a new law and abuse it before modifications can be made. They can be their own worse enemy.....I know....I was an LEO for 34 years. Hopefully, if this turns out to really be a problem, it will be addressed by Arizona. If one person defeats the ticket in court, especially during a court trial, it will become Case Law and motor homes will be exempted.
One person defeating a ticket doesn't make it case law. Otherwise murder would be legal because people have been acquitted of murder charges before.
