guytim Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Will a port-a-pot qualify as a permanent installed toilet? I am adding a generator to the semi to power the microwave,small space heater... a small fridge wired to the trucks batteries and inverter. I have a pedestal foot pump sink with a fresh & grey water containers. Will the small heater & a fan ran off the generator qualify as a hvac not powered by the semi engine? Commercial hitch removed. Jackolope wiring converter & brake controller installed. Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Dreamer Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 You can always try it. They probably want a regular RV toilet with a black water tank installed. You could always try to fasten a strap or chain to it and to the truck so show that it is permanently installed. Do you have to go thru an inspection or just take pictures?

Stinki Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hello guytim, trying to do the same thing, also in Michigan. Did you have any success with your attempt at converting to an RV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenandjon Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Do they inspect it? I'm in Nebraska. They just asked me if I had this and that etc. and I said yes to enough things they gave me a mobile home plate. Then I had to go do all the stuff I said I did.

guytim Posted July 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Got it titled as a motorhome in Michigan. I just made a list of all things done to comply with the Michigan definition, signed & dated, included the few receipts I had. I didn't have the original purchase price so they took a blue book value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep that in a binder with your registration and insurance card.

Keep that in a binder with your registration and insurance card. In Minnesota, what is needed to qualify as a motorhome is available on line. But, you only need a certain number of the items listed. So having the receipts for what you did could still be helpful. I would put both the list and copies of the receipts in the binder.
