RV & Motorhome Registration

If you own a van that you want to register as a motorhome, the state requires that its interior be fitted with a permanent bed, kitchen facilities, and/or a desk. And when registering you must also submit a Certificate of Compliance (Form MV-2); you can grab one at a Driver License Center.
