Absolutely!!! In fact, if you have been following what I have written on this issue, I mentioned as we own property in AZ, I have made contact with our Arizona State Senator who is also the President of the Senate. I voiced my concern that Arizona appears to be the only State that I know of with this issue where noncommercial RVs are not exempt from additional fuel taxes as with commercial vehicles asking him to please look into the matter.
My apologies for not catching this. Too much to follow!!
If you PM your state senator's name, I will be glad to send a letter from an out-of-stater that would like to see this law changed. It can have an effect if enough people (even out-of-state) raise the issue.
I don't think the law needs to be changed. It just needs clarification to the agencies enforcing it and that clarification should be made public. The law as it's written, based on the legal definition of the vehicles that are covered, doesn't not cover privately owned motorhomes with a couple of possible exceptions. And those exceptions may or may not be the Toterhomes. That needs clarification as of the four categories of vehicles that are listed in the statute, those are the only type that may fall under the definition of "Truck" and they only fall under the definition of "truck" if they are designed as used to haul cargo.
