I talked to local and state level Commercial Enforcement officers last year on this subject(Genesee County, surrounding townships and State of Michigan). Virtually all that I talked to told me they are not overly concerned with RV's. Why? Because they are not commercial vehicles. That said, all agreed that if the tow vehicle has a DOT number on the side, that vehicle is commercial and subject to stop and inspection. Many also stated the obvious; That if you are shining squirrels while towing your RV, you are likely to get pulled over. Not because you are commercial, because you are being stupid(not my word). Also, if you are blowing by traffic while pulling an RV, you are likely to get pulled over. (This is starting to sound like a Jeff Foxworthy routine.) Bottom line with all that I talked to is common sense prevails. Also noted was the fact that all officers are individuals and may see things differently. That said, I'll try to stay on the side of common sense.
