Arizona DOT definition of Recreational Vehicle taken from:
Arizona Revised Statutes - Title 28 Transportation - Section 28-3102
"Recreational vehicle" means a motor
vehicle or vehicle combination that is more than twenty-six thousand pounds gross vehicle weight rating and that is designed and exclusively used for private pleasure, including vehicles commonly called motor homes, pickup trucks with campers, travel trailers, boat trailers and horse trailers used exclusively to transport personal possessions or persons for noncommercial purposes.
Here is the list of "use vehicles"
A "use class motor vehicle" means a motor vehicle that uses use fuel on a highway in this state and that is a road tractor, truck tractor, truck or passenger carrying vehicle having a declared gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds or having more than two axles.
A passenger carrying vehicle is defined by USDOT as: simplified... A bus or motorcoach ( tour bus) designed to carry 15 or more passengers.
RVs are not on the list therefore no need to exempt.
The listed exemptions are exemptions to vehicle types listed as "use class motor vehicle.
Therefore RVs pay 18¢ fuel tax.
100% in agreement. I did not find that USDOT definition that says 15 or more passengers, but that makes sense too.
