It is tough here. Right now, it is 69 degrees, with a high expected of 74 degrees. Gonna cool off Tuesday to 71 degrees. Its tough cause we pretty much have good camping weather year round. Maybe I should get the truck and TC licensed as a motor home and save a few dollars. The money we save on heating can be applied to camping fuel. I bet we save a lot more than $225 a year.
Years ago (late 60's), my dad had his truck and camper shell licensed as a passenger car. He loaned it to a friend who removed the camper shell. The friend got a ticket for having a wheel barrow in the back of the truck. I don't remember what it cost, but dad did re-license the truck to commercial truck license.
In about 2004, I gave my daughter a 1-ton flatbed truck and a TC. The truck was licensed with commercial plates at about $250 per year. She had it licensed as an RV, and the license went down to about $60. She did not have to bolt the TC to the truck, but was told she could not put anything on the bed but a TC.
I was paying about $250 to $275 for my 1996 2500 Dodge truck with the typical commercial plates. I discovered I could get Handicap plates for it and retain all of the privileges of a commercial license, and those for handicap. :C The license dropped to About $80. I could have had the handicap plates over four years earlier, but did not know you could still have the commercial privileges. :S The $80 license sure bets moving to the east coast. :B
