Sorry if my tone came across wrong. Most people on this site are trying to find loop holes in the law because they do not want to comply. But from reading your new post I can see you are trying to learn. I will help you any way I can if that is the case.
Regulation 383 deals with drivers (CDL) and reg 390 deals with trucks. This is why they have different rules. A truck is considered commercial if it is 10,000 lbs or more and a driver is considered commercial if he drives a truck that weighs 26,000 lbs or more.
You can find the definition of a RV under section 571.3 Look for Motor home and Recreation vehicle trailer. The DOT will not really use this; but the state license people will or should. Once you get past the state license people and have gotten a RV tag for your vehicle the DOT will leave you alone.
I could not find the reg that exempts because I do not have a older book with me. It was in the old book but has been deleted from the new book.
Lets see if I can explain this better. RV's use to be included in the regs and then the state was allowed to exempt these same RV's from regulation. It was totally up to the state as to if you were allowed the exemption or by how much. This is the same way they do with farmers and firefighters ect....... But now the feds have totally removed RV's from the regs and they are totally unregulated. This is the power you have when you buy government officials threw lobbyist.
You can see this under Subpart A—General §383.3 Applicability.
Go to 383.3 On the right side of the screen you will see a little box that says "Interpretation" This is a question and answer section. Go down to question 3.
Question 3: Does part 383 apply to drivers of recreational vehicles?
Guidance: No, if the vehicle is used strictly for non-business purposes.
Since this thread has moved several pages back on the classic view I may not see any new questions you ask. If you need more help I can be found with a new thread or by going to the Ford board on this site.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
