Dackwagon!

[Dackwagon]

Hi all, thanks for leaving the door cracked enough for me to stick my big nose it. (You may regret it!)



At the stage where I need to register Dackwagon, a 2001 Aliner Scout hard-side pop-up camper mounted on the frame rails of a 2001 Mitsubishi Fuso Fg649 4x4 truck with a flexible mount that will prevent the twisting truck frame from turning the camper into a twisted pile of scrap!



I need to register it in upstate NY, (Dackwagon = adironDACK wagon). I've seen many local pickup truck drivers register them with commercial plates, presumably because it's cheaper? Not sure. If so, maybe I should do the same.



If I do, will I need a CDL? How about stopping at weigh stations or DOT inspections? Would the commercial plate require that?



Here's my website. Tons of pictures and explanations about what I'm doing, how, and why.

I modify commercial trucks to RecreateVehicle through the big three:
* Galley
" Head
* Bunk.
.
My latest project is a crew-cab fire-truck.
I removed the apparatus; the rear frame is bare, no structure.
Our Motor Vehicle bureaucrats registered that as a RecreateVehicle based on my plans and drawings.
.
I insure it as a RecreateVehicle.
