That is the correct statement (NON COMMERCIAL CLASS A) in a lot of states now using large trucks for RV Towing. Not all states are as anal like California in checking and or in pushing enforcement, but would assume its heading your way soon like everything else started here!
We were chased down by the Califonia Highway Patrol the other weekend for blowing past a Commercial checkpoint. Officer was challenging the fact that the truck is titled as an RV, we run a full blown three axle stretch frame with a commercial 5th wheel, had it changed out of state and then re-registered in back in CA in the good days.
He did state that changes were in the works to mandate any and all vehicles over 10,000 GVWR in any form of usage from ANY state will be required to pull through the scales by 2010 in CA, and face the same DOT inspections as a commecial as all other 10k+ rigs go through now, excluding pickups. Anyway, he got me with a ticket for improper registration classification and now it's off the the DMV for someone to inspect it I guess. Worked for a while anyway.
