Default I have come to the same conclusion

Say I'm about to buy a Chevy Dually 3500 Durmax @ say, $50K, how would a "Typical" HDT compare...Also what about fuel MPG compare to conventional Diesel pickup?
I am new to the forum also and new to the concept. I have shopped for a used domestic diesel hauler and have decided I'm not getting enough for the money. I like the idea of a sleeper/RV conversion because there are just more of them out there, but not very interested in driving one AND hauling a second one. I have in mind a short Volvo with passenger seats. Can these be converted to private RV status or does it just depend on the home state laws?

Thanks.
