It is resolved. Go to DMV, state that your pickup is used as an RV exclusivly with self contained waste and stove, fridge ,bed etc. You will be permitted to get passenger plates for your truck. End of problem.
It may not be the end of the problem.
I don't think the law has changed in California, but for years if your Truck had passenger car plates, you could not even carry a wheelbarrow in the back. My father got a ticket for doing just that. About all you can carry is groceries. If you had a camper shell on the truck with passenger plates, tools and such were OK. My point is, if he ever wanted to put something in the back of the truck without a camper/camper shell on the truck, he might be in violation of the law. I encourage anyone with, or considering, passenger plates to find out exactly what they can/cannot put in the back of their truck. A RV Forum may provide some thoughts, but it may or may not be true.
