I just went through this in Colorado with my '90 Syncro Westy and they would not let me register it as a passenger vehicle. They had a checklist of about 6 things...toilet, water storage/faucet, Heating/A/C, Stove, Bed, Refrigerator/Ice Box. If you have 4 of 6 you have a Motor Home. Doesn't matter here in Colorado for tax or insurance reasons. But I couldn't get the cool license plates. Just to illustrate how finely tuned the CO DOT is, I will point out that this is the first time that they have forced me to register a Westfalia as a Motor Home. The previous 3 were all registered a passenger vehicles...and they didn't bat an eye.
