Well "toterhomes are by RV definition a class super c motorhome, by legal description most are registered as such unless being operated by commercial ventures ie; race teams and vendors. A commercial vehicle is one that receives compensation for services and is subject to additional road taxes or tax credits based on prorate mileage as per state which is recorded in trip reports and fuel tax usage reports. If 2 plain clothes DOT LEO's were observing and ticketing fueling customers it would be because tax fraud by a commercial vehicle would be in question. The magic number for CDL's, commercial vehicles and taxation is 26,000 lbs as per federal DOT standards. Class A motorhomes can be used for commercial purposes so there is probably times where they might be trying to cheat the system. HDT as per Escapee's forums is Heavy Duty Truck for towing. Nobody on here would ever cut corners and cheat to save money, everyone loves the governments and all incidents reported on forums are the total and complete truth. Are we close yet? For those that did the research on the legal points good job, but only one dude here has all the details which is the assumed victim. This of course is based on his version which we received 2nd hand and others opinions. Me thinks we are still missing some small but important pieces of this puzzle.
