New Hampshire (and other states) have similar 5 out of 7 requirements to qualify the truck conversion as a recreational (motorhome) vehicle. The easiest way to achieve it is the following:

1. 110VAC RV style input socket (plug) and 110 volts distribution system in the cab. You will need it for other things anyway, like the battery charger, phone, computer chargers, microwave, coffee maker, etc. That meets your external power requirement.

2. Small microwave, that meets your "stove" requirement.

3. Refrigerator, most semis come with a small DC ran fridge anyway, mine didn't I bought small dorm type AC unit to run plugged into 110VAC, eventually I got a DC fridge we could run while traveling, meets the fridge requirement.

4. Toilet, self contained cassette type bought in Walmart for $50 bucks. Met the requirement, set on the floor in the bottom compartment, never used in 15 years of travels with it.

5. Sleeping accommodations, most semis come with one or two convertible beds anyway. You are done, you met the five.

6. Bonus points, some semis come with a small self contained sink and fresh and grey water tanks, you are up to six.

thank you so much!

SD will recognize it as Motorhome if it meets 5 of the 7 requirements.  

Is there somewhere I can view the requirements? 

Thanks for the advice everyone! We may do SD to register our HDT

Hi Everyone! We are new to the HDT World! My husband and I just purchased 2012 Volvo HDT to haul our 5th wheel. We purchased it in Wisconsin and the Volvo is titled as a motorhome. We went to our DMV in Florida (Hillsborough County) and they would not recognize the Volvo as a motorhome🤬 and we don't want to register it as a tractor trailer/semi. We want to know if there is an out of state company or a law firm that we can reach out to to get our HDT registered. Any king of help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
