But I think it would be pretty hard to setup a tractor with the required equipment to make it a r/v.

Where you live determines how difficult it can be; in Indiana I had my Volvo "converted" to meet the requirements in less than a day. An inspection by LEA took about 20 minutes, mostly spent on the computer in the squad car. Another half hour or so at the license branch, and the legal conversion to "RV" was complete. It took a lot longer securing insurance, as there is only a few companies that are currently insuring these conversions. The agent asked more questions than either the law officer or the license branch, and was much better informed as well (in my opinion).
There's extensive information relating to all this at the "Escapees" forum, lots of tips and advice available for every detail involved in these conversions. You will be amazed at the number of tractors that are now classified as R/V or motorhome.
