Odd question
I have an odd question for y'alls. I got to thinking about this last night, as you all know I'm thinking about selling my pick up truck and buying a diesel pick up. Well instead of a diesel pick up I was wondering if I could buy a class 8 tractor and register it as a personal vehicle or recreation vehicle? I figure I'd make about $1500 a month if I get the job and I was thinking about living out the truck instead of at home. Seriously though it's just an idea and I'm always thinking of some crazy ideas! :lol: Atleast I'm using my mind for something good instead of evil. 8) :P

I am not sure on this one, but down the road from my mothers house there is a Truck sitting on the side of a neighbors house that is labeled "for personal use" or something of that effect. He has a 48 dry van that he made into a camper. But other than that I have no idea.

Maybe I'm thinking wrong or way too much but I figure it would be cheaper to fill up two 150 tanks than a 30 gallon since I'm only gonna be running a lil over 200 miles a week. I was thinking about getting one with a sleeper so I can live in it instead of living with mom or finding a place to rent and just have a home on wheels. Sure would beat paying rent along with utilities.

oh you can do it, just you won't be able to get cheaper plates for it. you'll save money come tax time though. :wink:

All I'd have to do is just put for personal use on it and with it being registered as commerical vehicle would I still have to get ifta stickers and just a basic bobtail insurance along with th $700,000 coverage or was it $1 million. I figure it would be cheaper in the long run in my opinion.

I didn't say I was going to do this now, I planned on waiting until tax time and have a cushion of money. I may be a teenager but I'm not a stupid or dumb one! :roll: :wink:

If you could and did register it as an RV then no, you would not need to have it registered with IFTA, file fuel taxes, pay heavy use tax, etc. |

Should you do it? NO! Absolutely not. I'd suggest you go and buy yourself a nice brand new Honda Civic. I picked one up a year ago, 17,000 bucks. It has every option you can imagine and gets 40mpg as an added bonus and will likely last me a very long time. Fuel ain't going anywhere but up, might as well plan ahead. If you decide to ignore my advice and get the Class 8 RV anyways I will personally drive out there and wave my finger in your face and shout profanities. :lol: |
