My Westy, which I bought in PA and brought to Michigan, was registered
there as a motorhome.  This provoked a debate among the clerks at the
Secretary of State office here as to whether to register it as a van or
motorhome.  Eventually it was titled in Michigan as a motorhome.  I'm not
sure if this carries any benefits here.  My insurance company doesn't
offer any discount for it.
