I just went through the same hell here in Ohio. I finally contacted The Clerk of Courts in Columbus and here is what she told me to do.
1)sign an affidavit stating:
a) the truck would only be used for recreational use
b) it did not have a commercial 5th wheel
c) it had separate hvac, cool storage, cooking and a bed
2) get retitled as motorhome
3) register and tag it as a moterhome
4) "not for hire" and "private RV" stickers on the doors don't change status of vehicle, but are a good idea as a courtesy to DOT.
Right or wrong, this was my official direction. I haven't stopped at a weigh station since and so far so good.
