I already found out that info, now I am just waiting for cvse to get back to me on what I have to add to the truck to declair it as a motorhome.

so far I know it has to have the comercial hitch removed, a fridge or icebox, cooking apliance, bed, 110 power (I think there has to be an outlet on the outside also) sink, and some places require a toilet, which a porta potty works for. the problem is every provence has there own requirments. in Alberta for eg you can add the stuff above and declare it as a motor home with out singeling, or you can single it, remove the comercial hitch and regester it as a personal truck as you would a F250. some provences also want "not for hire, private rv" on the truck also.

both ways only require a regular drivers licence with a air brake endorsment. so I am waiting to see the different options for BC now. one other thing you need in BC is if you are going to tow a trailer over 4800kg you need a heavy tow endorsment on your class 5.

its funny as I went to ICBC and they told me what I would need drivers licence wise to drive it and yes they have seen it done lots. but to check with a insurance place on how to re-register it. the place I went to said it is no problem to redescribe a truck and to just bring it in and they will do it but couldn't tell me the exact requirments to be eligible, so they sugested trying CVSE to see if they had the regulations for doing it.

so I think I am going to e-mail ICBC head office also and see if they have the requirments
