I have been looking into getting a new transporter for the up-coming season. The truck I have been looking at in particular is a converted '31 foot long former moving truck.

The person selling it made the conversion himself and satisfied Pennsylvania's requirements to get it titled as a motorhome (running water, a bed, cooking device - microwave, and a refrigerator). It has 16 feet in the back to haul a car (my AMC would have room to spare).

Mechanical and operational semantics aside, I am making this post to see if anyone who currently has a similar set-up could share their experiences in regards to titling and insuring them. I live in NJ so if any NJ-specific advice would be extra helpful.

One of the things I was told recently was that by hauling a car in the truck disqualifies it as a "motorhome". Another thing I was told is that NJ likes to classify trucks like duallys as commercial vehicles (in a way that is relevant since this truck has dual rear wheels). I wanted to confirm these.
