Glad to here they registered your rig as a motorhome. Now if you can get that insurance all straightened away you'll be set.

My situation was just as taxing (literally) I checked with the Ohio State Patrol when I picked up my truck and asked what was required. I also mentioned I was building a motorhome out of the truck. There was no way I could get motorhome status, but there is a provision in the code that states if the truck will be used non commercially than at least I did not need to get a CDL. My problem was the license bureau would not recognize the truck as anything other than a commercial truck. So for at least this year it cost me $600 for plates (ouch!) I also have "Not for hire" on the side of the truck, though convincing the Ohio Patrol will be easier since I removed my fifth wheel hitch. Insurance was no problem even with my unique situation of going from truck to a motorhome.
