After a phone call to someone that works at mva,
you will need:
The truck:
Class E 10001-18000lbs @ $9.00 per 1000lbs = $162.00 reg fee
You: a class C license as long as you are not over a GCW of 26000 lbs. If you go over 26001lbs COMBINED WEIGHT that will be a Class A license.

All of this is NON COMMERCIAL!

For it to be an rv you will have to have a manufacture's cert of an rv.

Also you will have to have a Maryland State inspection on the truck. To be done at a Class C inspection station. (over 10,001 gvw)

I respectfully disagree with part of this.
I think we are on the same page as the "Truck" registration in that it is the combined weight of the entire package (Truck and Trailer loaded)
I disagree with the CDL Class C A or any other type CDL required for a PERSONALLY REGISTERED vehicle. The rules of 49CFR simple dont apply as it references "Commercial Vehicles" which it is not.
I agree that it is not an RV at least as far as the insurance. Im not aware of details on the MV registration because I never researched that. When my insurance company couldnt figure out to insure it they did say as you stated it needed the bathroom sleeping area. The exemption of the NON COMMERCIAL vehicle is how these guys are driving around 60,000 lb converted buses with no CDL though.

This subject is worthy of its own thread because there is lots of opinion and interpretations here and its good practice if (when) someone is ticketed by the overzealous State Trooper that tries to cock block a good Poker Run weekend

49CFR383

TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION

CHAPTER III--FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

PART 383_COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE STANDARDS; REQUIREMENTS AND PENALTIES--Table of Contents


Sec. 383.3 Applicability.

(a) The rules in this part apply to every person who operates a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate, foreign, or intrastate commerce, to all employers of such persons, and to all States.

If registered as a personal vehicle as stated here, not applicable

Sec. 383.5 Definitions.

Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) means a motor vehicle or combination of motor vehicles used in commerce to transport passengers or property if the motor vehicle--
(a) Has a gross combination weight rating of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001 pounds or more) inclusive of a towed unit(s) with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds); or
(b) Has a gross vehicle weight rating of 11,794 or more kilograms (26,001 pounds or more);

Again if for personal use not used in "commerce" the commercial code does not apply.
