Hi Ray, Yep you can and it's legal. Too meet RV MH status the tractor must have 4 out of six:
1) own water supply (small water tank with a hand pump)
2) own coach power (inverter)
3) sleeping area
4) seperate heating
5) seperate lighting ( extra battery for RV)
6) bathroom (fold up potty) Now that doesn't limit you from pulling a trailer but I would think the DOT would want you too prove who owns the load on the trailer. If the driver owns the load then no problem but if not then they would be in a heap of trouble or the same as hot shots ? I also believe most scalehouses have cameras and I would bet if you just drive by the scales more than 3 or 4 times a month, there going to nail them with a inspection to prove RV status ? Most scalehouses are linked together? So would it matter which scalehouse you went by? I don't think it's changed anything other for the guy wanting to pull a large RV trailer as now he can buy MH insurance and plates at a reasonable cost. With my F350 DRW I have to buy commerical plates and my StateFarm agent listed my pick-up as a F150 to get them to insure it. They then listed it as a F350 after the policy was issued. To me this is just plain stupid that I have to go thru all this just to drive a 1-ton pick-up to pull my RV. T_Bone

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
