The rv title takes you completely and unquestionably out of the jurisdiction of the dot, unless of course you really are using the truck commercially and just trying to skate. On my old race car trailer with full living quarters, I would have had to run a commercial plate due to the weight of the trailer so I had to change the title to a "house vehicle" (Ohio's term for a camping trailer) to get a non-commercial house vehicle plate. Many states will not issue an rv plate for a (former) commercial truck at all, regardless of equipment, unless you have it inspected and re-titled as an rv. Our local title office at the courthouse actually has a picture of a legitimate factory built Renegade toterhome taped to their wall with "THIS IS NOT AN RV!" written on it.
