    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Pickup vs. Motor Truck - Hawk on Flatbed in California

    Thanks - I think we will look more into the RV registration as we get closer to the install date of our flatbed and camper. I do know that information about if the camper comes off; however, we don’t plan to ever take it off and the pop-up will be installed at the same time as the flatbed. We...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Pickup vs. Motor Truck - Hawk on Flatbed in California

    Thanks! They definitely don’t make it easy to understand. To me it seems a lot is dependent on the actual GVWR of the truck. Now I’m curious, once I get the flatbed and caper on the truck, can it actually be registered as an RV in California?

    Thanks, Scott! I think the F-350 is 11,500 GVWR so you probably had to register as commercial? It sounds like y'all did the same thing with regard to ordering the camper and special ordering the truck. Did you get an FX4 or Tremor build? We went with the F-250 Tremor and are super excited to try...

    Thanks Rich and Scott. We actually don't have our truck yet - it is on order. But it will be 10,800# GVWR and will have a vehicle weight of about 7,800#. Based on what I've read, to even classify the truck as commercial we would have to be using it as commercial (which isn't going to happen) OR...

    Thanks, Rich. I think I finally understand now that those modifications to the bed only matter if we are in the commercial category, which we aren't. The GVWR of our F-250 will be 10,800#.

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to understand the requirements for classifying our upcoming F-250/Hawk Flatbed build and how the DMV will classify it. I know our vehicle is below the weight threshold to classify it as a commercial vehicle - but for those with a flatbed and camper on top, is your...
