Does something like this make sense?

Also, while this truck has 580,000 miles on it, what's the chance of it being reliable for my 50,000 mile per year gig? How much would a complete in-chassis rebuid of the engine cost on something like this? Or should I get an '05 Volvo semi truck and have a 12' sleeper installed on it? Also, I see most of these toterhomes singled (pull one of the tandem axels), but is that more for RV registration than for comfort? Since I'm going to have a sponsor logo wrap done on the truck and trailer, it's certainly going to require a CDL to drive.
The CDL part doesn't bother me since at least one of the event trailer dealers offers a 2 week "executive CDL" course with lots of road time and safety classes. And my local community college's continuing education guys will customize a similar CDL class for me on their local truck driving range for $250 a day. I'm guessing that for $2,000 of track time I should get enough practical driving in two weeks to pass my CDL in MD, assuming I do the book studies on my own.
And yes, I understand the driver's log and associated paperwork for a commercial rig. I just don't think there's any way to register this thing as an RV once I put the logos on it and a 53' event trailer. But I'll take any comments on that subject.
