Well, Bedlam, let me tell you a true story. We got a high rise topper for our pickup when it was new. In California, apparently there is one state registration fee for a commercial pickup and another for a camper. We brought our truck into the Dept of Motor Vehicles. The guy doing the inspection said that because there was no camping equipment in the back of the truck, it was not a camper. He told us to go home, get a sleeping bag and a tent, and come back. We asked his supervisor -- she agreed with him.
We went home, got the stuff, came back, and saved a lot of money. Bottom line -- in Calif, the topper is what makes it a camper, but only if there is camping gear inside!
It sounds silly, but that is exactly what happened.
