Your toter is a motorhome so if a regular motorhome is legal so is the toter. As for air brakes - DOT officer or not, he's wrong as far as everything I've found reading the GA laws and talking to lawyers on occasion - if it's an RV you are exempt from the air brake issue in Georgia, other states aren't so lucky. Since you're using the rig for a hobby you're not commercial, so you're not different than any other rv out there no matter what he wants to think. Granted that won't stop him form being a pain in the you know what but the reality is you're an rv and engaged in a hobby you do for fun and spend money on - not a business you make money on.
The problem is our rigs are not anywhere near normal so no one really knows the answer, that's why I went and read the law myself and it's pretty clear that if you're not using an RV for commercial use you're just like any other RV'er even if it's a class 8 based rig.
