Hello all,
My camper is on the truck fulltime, but california assumes that if i own a truck, it is for commercial use and wants to charge me $154 weight fees on top of the usual license and renewal fees.
I read somewhere on here that if you go to the DMV and tell them that your camper is on the truck fulltime, it is no longer a commercial vehicle and therefore does not attract the weight fees.
I tried that last year, and i remember that the DMV lady was very cooperative about it, but said that my Truck title would have to be modified to be marked as recreational use only. But because the title is still held by the Bank of the West, I have to get some documentation from them.... (or something to that effect).
I ended up having to pay the full commercial fees last year, but want to try and avoid it this year. Any insights into this would be helpful. Thank you.
BTW, i cannot pay off the truck and take the title to the DMV right now ;-)
