I went on to check the Florida DOT site and they have defined the difference between an RV and a Truck. They even have pictures. A "toterhome" pulling a trailer that no part of rests on the prime mover may be considered an RV. A "toterhome" that has a fifth wheel and part of the trailer sits on the prime mover must be registered as a truck. At least thats a layman's opinion of the rule. Probably won't affect many midwest teams as all the winter racing in FL is winged but I have seen local UMP modifieds at Volusia.
