No offence to people in transport, but it doesn't take college degree to drive semi-truck, while I think lot of this forum members do have one.
Don't overthink the issue. If you don't plan to use your truck for hauling the cargo, get it with camper on to DMV for inspection and reclassification.

Thanks Kaytag. I see what you are doing and may go that route as well. Appreciate your perspective and common sense approach.

I don't have a college degree and never wanted one myself. Worked in construction as a supervisor and made enough money to retire pretty young. Huge need for people here in CA that can build complex construction projects.

At this point the dealer is still in the process of registering my truck. They sold it to me without any conversation regarding this. Weeks after they cashed my check I am now getting the urgent need for me to classify my truck. The cynical part of my head tells me that this was info that was withheld at time of sale as to not foul the deal. This dealer sells a lot of big trucks. They can't claim ignorance. Or they may have not trained salespeople properly. Either way it is a bit of a wildcard for us using the truck to travel now. We wanted to be on the road and now I am spending time to weigh the truck and mail documents back to the dealer. Presumably with further correspondence needed between myself and the DMV to arrange more payments.

I am ok with paying my fair share of taxes for the state I live in. That is part of being a citizen. I am an adult and accept that. But holly heck. Seriously how far do I have to pay for a **** truck.
