i'll be selling my little Tioga this weekend. Not looking forward to "The Craigslist Experience"



I live in AZ, and I'm considering a MDT conversion. Can you help me understand what all you had to get done to get the vehicle titled? 3 years is a loooooong time to deal with the professional Maroons at the state...what was the hold-up, what resolved it?

 

[Schiada]

My truck was a "Tractor" with a fifth wheel plate.That was the big problem. Their are like 5 or 6 things the truck must have to move into the "RV" class. The truck must have 3 or 4 of them to pass.

So the big thing will be was it a "Tractor" . It can be done but that is a real pain.

appreciate that, I'm in AZ and I wasn't expecting any big hiccups as long as it was Class 6 and had a walk-thru from the cab to the house.

Around here its 4 of the following 7.

Most insurance companies only consider it with #1 as mandatory.

1- permanently mounted toilet
2- pumped and drained water
3- cooking appliance
4- fridge
5- independent heat
7- bed

Government is same but doesn't seem to care about toilet just 4 of 7.

cheers,

What’s # 6, or is it a secret?

Good thing this place is so quiet or I would have been called out a hundred times on ol #6.

In Oregon, I registered these as RecreationVehicles:
* 30' OTR semi-trailer (I toted this with a 1974 Chevy CO semi-tractor licensed as a pickup truck... YeeHaw!)
* 1984 Peterbilt CO with condo and 16' box (276" wb... Yikes!)
* 1997 Ford CF8000 reefer van (Our full-time live-aboard since 2003, twenty-four months twenty-four thousand miles around south America, Alaska, Panama. Summers around remote mountain lakes, winters on isolated Baja beaches)
* 1966 Zeiman commercial flatbed trailer (I mounted a 16' box, and call it our toy-hauler)
* 1965 40' OTR reefer semi-trailer
and my latest project:
* 2006 garbage-truck.
RecreationVehicle, each and all.
.
In these, I install traditional RecreationVehicle components as required by TheLaw©:
* place to evacuate my bowels/bladder
* place to snooze
* place to cook
* place to shower.
I added a library, furniture from a stand-still house, and homey knick-knacks.

re:
register/license
.
The government agents want my money.
They have no interest in my use after I pay and leave the bureaucracy.
In fact, the faster they get me gone, the quicker the next paying customer can fork-over their hard-earned.
.
.
I hear about folks working for months/years on their perfect ideal rig.
I often playfully ask:
* might you be over-thinking this?

Probably over thinking, but are there any details about truck conversion I should be aware of? I have an flhd with a coffin sleeper that will pull a mayflower van "if I ever get done with it lol"
