Sorry, that's not going to cut it. Your tester is now going to add Wanderlodges
to his list of vehicles worked on, for any who ask in the future. For him, the
Private/Commercial aspect is immaterial.

If that's what it takes, then so be it. As a practical matter, instances of
Class A coaches being pulled over for anything, including exceeding the 55mph
towing limit in California, are exceedingly rare. The one California exception
appears to be 45-footers pulling obviously longer than 20-foot toads or
trailers.

I was, however, pulled over for my first time ever in a motor home a few days
ago on I-10 in Florida. The lift-window on our Jeep liberty had popped open
(happens with a wrong key press, just like a panic alarm), and the state trooper
wanted to make sure we weren't losing anything.

"Have a nice day and I will block traffic for you to get going" was the parting
word.
