Check out this awesome Volvo HDT RV Hauler ARI Sleeper Condo. Marty shows us how his beautiful Semi-Tractor Sleeper functions great for work and play.
๐ Statement from Marty regarding working in his RV:
It looks like a semi but on paper itโs a motorhome. The Semi has been retitled as a motorhome (it is) after an inspection by my local sheriff, and is no longer titled as a commercial vehicle. This is shown on the registration. I used to stop at scales and sometimes get hassled, but once I retitled to unit as an RV and showed them the registration, the Colorado State Patrol told me I do not need to and gave me the code section stating so. The so called RV exemption. This is like a Super C with a toy hauler in use, just more modular and safer because the capacity is so high as with all HDTs.
Now the next gray area for all HDT and RV users is, are all RVs universally exempt from the commercial requirements because most full timers work from their units in some capacity. I pushed the issue at a scale house (I do not recommend this. never a good idea) once and the answer I got was since my vehicle was (at the time) titled and plated as a commercial semi tractor, if I drove across state lines and then worked on my laptop for pay, that alone would invoke the requirements. If that requirement were applied to RVs, thousands of owners would be in non-compliance.
So far, 2 years, with the retitled truck, so good. But I donโt invite trouble by stopping at scales either. Once I got chased down and the trooper said โHave a nice dayโ once I told that this vehicles is really a motorhome. That is my approach.
