Patrick,

I would think that it is more like Class C motorhome. That is how I think of my FLD 120. I don't have the body over the cab, but I do have 2 side doors and a walk through from the cab into the main body, just like a C Class motorhome.

If it is totally home converted with no company name available, you can either put one on it and call it that when you register it or just say it's a Class C Freightliner Motorhome.

On a different note, when I took my part converted MCI 40ft bus down to the MVD, they needed to place a value on it, but their books didn't have MCI or Prevost or Eagle buses listed, so they took a Thompson school bus for value, saved me a fortune. With my FLD 120 it is a different story, MVD runs the vin# and comes up with a 3 axle tractor of 215" wheelbase, but Freightliner has it as a 2 axle 265" wheelbase box truck and let me tell you, there is a bit of a difference in the values. This is my next bridge to cross......... LOL.

Peter.
