Ya, no matter what ya do to a 53' semi trailer, or what you call it, it's a commercial truck trailer with the DOT. We pondered doing the same thing, only way around it is a custom builder like Wildside or 5150 trailer that starts life new as a RV Conversion. At least for us Californians! Some other state may see it different?
Take a look at : Wildside Coaches, 5150 trailers and Santek trailers in CA. Santek builds a lot of high end big boy stuff out West here and are decent guys to talk to for ideas and general pricing.
Have fun!
