Dave,
That's what has me worried. But the law on the books now, is pretty clear.
And drop shipping a new vehicle to a custom utility bed manufacturer and having them permanently install the camper should be treated just like a Class C without question. No different than Host, Bigfoot and Provan RV's.
The law doesn't actually require the purchase of a new vehicle and using a utility bed manufacturer. It only requires the camper be permanently attached to the truck. But in that case you as an individual must bring the argument. Having someone else do it, can show their intent as a manufacturer.
But I hear the same stories that your recite. It just seems inconceivable that the state would require Class C's to re register as a commercial vehicle.
Once the camper is permanently attached to the vehicle it is now a House Car not a pickup or truck. It is used to transport people. Not property.
From California DMV:
A "commercial vehicle" is a vehicle which is used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit or designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property (for example, trucks and pickups).
