someone said that using a flat bed is not an RV so it would have to be commercial. its CA so everything is not always logical, but the non commercial is for a trailer exceeding 10,000 it does not say anything about it having to be an RV. so i don't get why a heavy duty flat bed would not work. my concern was when backing up, with my TH i am good withe the mirrors but with a smaller trailer or my boat i prefer to look over my right shoulder out the back window, the hand book does not say what way the DMV wants this done. keep us updated with what you do.
I would go to DMV with a flat bed or horse trailer as horse trailers also typically have a high GVWR for their size and see if the DMV cares. If not you are home free. If they say it has to be a travel trailer then come back next time with your trailer.
Yeah that would work if I could find a single heavy duty rental place that rents pull trailers beyond 9990lb gvwr. Looking still
