When they are talking about three or more axles, does that also include items being towed? For example, does a two axle motor home become a four axle vehicle if it's pulling a toad?

No. Things being towed by the vehicle are specifically excluded.

OK, but it doesn't say that at the pump or in the tax code!

Well then if it's not on the label it must not be because we all know that labels are the law!

Hi Dennis. I have just taken a pic of the sticker but I cannot figure out how to get it to come up.

Thanks to Jeff for getting this picture.

That is right in the case of a semi tractor the 2nd or 3rd axle could be a trailer axle depending on whether the tractor is a tandem or single drive axle. DP could also be commercial but not hauling passengers as a bus in the case of a custom built unit for hospitals or mobile education units. Could also be motorhome as built but hauling a stacker trailer with race cars or carnival caravan which is commercial living quarters.

Executive called me out on selective quoting so I must add the last line of the toterhome guys post.

I won't paste but went something like:

I also seen a large 3 axle class a RV get nail while I was there.

He left no further information or discussion.

It is pretty obvious that the Commercial Pumps are for Commercial Vehicles and the Regular Pumps are for Non Commercial Vehicles.

Now it turns out that the fellow who was ticketed was driving a Toterhome that may have been carrying multiple other vehicles which may have been owned by a corporation or enterprise so technically it was a Commercial Vehicle . Apparently if the Vehicle has any Decals that promote Racing,OffRoad or otherwise or carries a Sponsors Logo or Advertising ,it is considered a Commercial Vehicle and must be registered as such.

Im sure that if the ticketed party does go to court and proves that He was not engaged in a commercial activity He will be exonerated !

For the rest of Us driving Motorhomes that are heavier than 26,000 Lbs CGVW who are duly licensed as non Commercial Vehicles, there is nothing to worry about!

Well, I for one think I'll print this out so if some AZ LEO decides to write me up, I'll just show him this post, tell him how wrong he is and tell him to go pound sand.....think that'll work...??:h:h

Sounds like you are correct. Yes some of us in here, including myself, thought the tickets were issued to somebody with a three axle Class A DP. So now we're seeing that isn't the case. But what is funny is there are only a couple of us who were saying the law should not be applied to Class DP's. The vast majority if everybody else in this discussion was telling how simple the law was and how of course it applied to all motorhomes and how those of us who didn't think that was correct are arrogant and can't read. Well look who was right in the end,
