You are probably running into Truck Tractor (CVC §655):

A motor vehicle designed and used primarily for drawing other vehicles and not
so constructed as to carry a load other than a part of the vehicle weight and load
so drawn.

As used in this section, "load" does not include items carried on the truck tractor
in conjunction with the vehicle operation if the load carrying space for these items
does not exceed 34 square feet.

Note: Truck tractors must always be registered as commercial vehicles, even if
they have living quarters.

The living quarters are secondary or incidental to the primary function of the
vehicle, which is still drawing other vehicles.
Truck tractors with living quarters cannot be registered as housecars.

I think they added that last bit around 2007.
