You made me going to my truck and check the papers.
There is no RV classification for trucks with campers in CA.
It is registered as PM, or privately own vehicle and surprisingly the dmv site search did not come with much of information about it.
Go figure - by registering your truck as PM, the state is loosing +- $500 on weight fee every single year.
I call DMV and they told me no restriction on pulling heavy trailers with PM, so as long as you have some kind of camper on the pickup, you can hook up 25,000lb equipment hauler and haul all bulldozers you want.
This is where I would advise a grain of salt as the office clerk and DOT officers are different institutions and if you look too commercial bypassing scales, you might get pulled over.
