Yay, welcome to the Truck Conversion forum, Tom! I'm also in MN, over in St. Paul. I am retired from 29 years in law enforcement so I know a very little bit about MN statutes. First question that comes to mind, "is your truck a day cab?" Because if it is you're not going to be able to legally license it as a motorhome in MN. Emphasis should be placed on the word "legally." I've seen day cab trucks sporting RV license plates in MN. MN designates self propelled motorhomes on their license plates as RV. There is just no way to get enough of the required items into a day cab to pass as an RV. The catch is, there is no official inspection to get RV plates. You go into the DMV office and sign a form stating that you have all the items to qualify as an RV and they give you RV plates. Now, the way you're going to get into trouble is if you have contact with a law enforcement person that knows enough about the laws, and cares about tagging you. You might not ever have a problem. And, I suspect if you head out of MN you're going to have even less problem because most cops from other states don't really know what MN requires to give you those RV plates.
Now, if you have a sleeper and want to legally (add emphasis there) get RV plates on it I can get you the statutes that explain what you need.
