Just like I said in another topic 3 DOT officers will give you 3 different interpretation of the law.
I pass CA weight station with my F450 having 10 foot flatbed 100 times and never got pulled over.
Then it is not the camper itself that makes you non-commercial. It is going to DMV for inspection and changing truck classification that counts.
Actually before year 2010 my truck had no commercial stickers. It was few years later when I used the truck commercially.
But what I learned later (partially hard way) is that the law is very old, but it was not enforced for decades.
Than state turned LEO into revenue seekers and we have what we have.
From couple times I was send for inspection at weight station - checking emergency brakes on trailers is HUGE money maker for the state.
