Getting RV police inspection and subsequent RV plates seems a no brainer financially, in IL, $475 difference in cost for plates.

Getting a title that says RV.

What are the benefits in doing that?
Cost?
Compliance DOT?
Insurance?

I’m comfortable financially if it’s insured as a truck at proper value given minimal changes I plan. In other words, I’m not feeling the need to insure it for an extra 20000 because I did a conversion.

Is title saying RV or motorhome necessary for getting out of weigh stations and travel log commercial accusations, or, are RV plates enough?

Not clear what I “get” by switching title to say RV
