michael11 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Everyone ! Thinking about upgrading to an HDT from my 2011 F350 DRW. I have been researching for the last week or so, the only issue I am finding is insurance. Was hoping that maybe someone here might be from Ontario, and can point me in the right direction for insurance.. Thanks in advance !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evol4x4s Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hey guys. Found this thread after joining the forum. I am also in Ontario and I am looking to get rid of our 2014 F350 to switch to a HDT. Up until reading these posts we were under the impression we would have to use a type of commercial insurance. Also has anyone had any succes registering it as a RV in Ontario ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Registering as a motor home is easy. Finding an insurance agent that knows how to get the underwriter to approve is another. My truck (sorry motor home) is with CoOperaters. I couldn't get past my Intact agent and yet Bob A has his there.

curtm Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Newcomer, live A little South of London On, Looking at getting back in to the RV scene after a few years abscent, have a few years to go before retiring, but when i do i'am hitting the road, I had a "A" liscence for many years and let it go about 10 years ago, looking in to converting a 630 Volvo or a 430, was wondering what kinda deal is it as far as a liscense, what do you require ???, I dropped down to a DZ, very familiar with truck being a heavy equipment and truck mechanic for many years so the conversion may not be a big deal, i have a very well equipped shop to complete the work, need some thoughts from guys that are already doing the HDT, seems the truck are fairly resonanble with regards to price, looking at 6-8 year old truck with about 800,000 k on it, what is some things to think about, also not to interested in a heavy duty pick up to do the pulling for 60-80 G's, when you can do it with a real truck for under 50 G's appreciate any feed back Thanks Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob A Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 The switch is pretty easy meet 4 of the 7 requirements get it recertified as a motorhome and go to get new plates. I put portapotty under bunk, already had bunk heater, installed inverter for 120 volt power, bought little self contained burner for cooking device.

(Check info on mto government website) Did they verify all the requirements in your truck during the switch ? I was told the make model of the truck would have to come up in their system as a RV in order for them to register it. I guess it would depend on which office it is.

Nigel Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 They wouldn't take my letter. I made out an affidavit and swore it out at the lisencing office. They were pretty particular with the wording. Nigel 2006 Volvo VNL 430, 2006 smart cabrio cdi, 2000 Triple E Topaz 30' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billr Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 What Nigel said on the affidavit. They want a detailed account of what was done to change the vehicle from what it was to what it is now. No insp by MTO. No pics. Just Insurance slip, Safety (no truck yellow sticker req, but need to use truck shop) bill of sale and emission test if in Area req in Ontario.
