In Washington for example, there are 6 requirements to convert a semi into a motor home but you only have to do 4 of the 6 requirements.
There is no need for DOT numbers as it is NOT a commercial truck,
WA seems to struggle with the DOT thing on big trucks. I recently tried renewing my M2-106 online and it said I need a DOT number. I had to call and remind them it's not commercial.
In '13 when I first got it I spent one hour in the licensing office trying to convince them it was not a commercial vehicle. Apparently they had just 'upgraded' their computer system and it was not cooperating. After all, "nobody" would ever buy one of these trucks for personal use.
In Washington, most folks who work at the DMV or at the local licensing place don't have a clue as to how to deal with such things. You have to know the law, bring in a copy of the RCW and if need be force them to do their job which in most cases means they have to actually do a bit of research and then do the right thing. Once you have it properly titled and registered its not a problem.
