That settles it for me. But somebody needs to tell Zimmerman that an email or a memo needs to go out to everybody at DOT and maybe even in a press release clarifying this, as other government officials in AZ appear to be telling people different things.
I was only concentrating on the motor home issue, however I think the part that is still somewhat in the air is whether this exemption applies to MDT/HDT units. As I recall from the Escapee's article it was an operator of a HDT unit towing a fiver that was cited and find $1,000.
I have seen them on the road and in RV parks. Some are clearly signed with something like "Not For Hire" or "For Recreational Use Only", but not all of them. I could see the potential for some one to use a HDT for commercial purposes say during the week, and then tow his fiver on the weekends or holidays. I'm sure AZ can easily tell if a MDT/HDT is commercially licensed in their state and make an easy decision, but what about out of state licensed units?
I would suspect with the proper documentation and signage they are also exempt, but that is for some one else to take up with Mark. His email address is MZimmerman@azdot.gov
On edit: I had another email exchange with Mark regarding the incorrect info that the Fuel Tax Manager had disseminated. He is going to speak with him to make sure he is providing the correct information going forward.
