Mike, this is what I found on line. In health and safty


18010. Recreational vehicle


"Recreational vehicle" means either of the following:

(a) A motor home, travel trailer, truck camper, or camping trailer, with or without motive power, designed for human habitation for recreational, emergency, or other occupancy, which meets all of the following criteria:

(1) It contains less than 320 square feet of internal living room area, excluding built-in equipment, including, but not limited to, wardrobe, closets, cabinets, kitchen units or fixtures, and bath or toilet rooms.

(2) It contains 400 square feet or less of gross area measured at maximum horizontal projections.

(3) It is built on a single chassis.

(4) It is either self-propelled, truck-mounted, or permanently towable on the highways without a permit.

(b) A park trailer designed for human habitation for recreational or seasonal use only, which meets all of the following criteria:

(1) It contains 400 square feet or less of gross floor area measured at the maximum horizontal projections. However, it may not exceed 12 feet in width or 40 feet in length in the traveling mode.

(2) It is built on a single chassis.

(3) It may only be transported upon the public highways with a permit

With this in hand you should have little trouble.

My friend Ted gave this info to me and it worked just fine.

In the vehical code book of 2001, health and safety, page A166, artical 18010. I asked the person at the DMV what book is the law, the Vehical code book or the pamthlets they allways refer to. Tell them you are non-comercial. You will have to have a non-comercial class A licence if your 5er has a GVWR of 15,000lbs or more. It doesen't matter if it weighs less than the GVWR, it goes buy The GVWR sticker on the 5er.

Hope this helps and gives you a place to start your research.
