I think what a bunch of you, being an honest person like me, don’t realize just how many less than honest folks there are out there.
For every rule or law there are 10 people trying to make an end run around it.
Folks using an “RV” as a commercial vehicle or for other illegal purposes is rampant these days. Everything from transporting people ‘under the radar’ to pet transportation and commercial boat / ATV / PWC / etc transportation.
Thinking about it from a ‘business’ point of view, no commercial truck insurance, no paperwork (permits, logs, etc) of any kind, no hotel or motels costs …… it would make a marginal thing profitable by under-cutting the legitimate operators.
As always, it only takes a few bad apples.
