I was thinking of buying a class 8 Semi truck to tow a 53' box trailer converted into an RV. I got the idea from seeing the NASCAR team's rigs, which are very nicely equipped. I think a big rig would make a radical RV, but what kind of hassles will I be faced with? I'll need a commercial license obviously, but what about tax and licensing? When I travel do I have to stop at truck weigh stations? I currently own a 30ft standard RV, and I travel all around the country. I live in AZ. Will a Semi be a good choice for stepping up the size of my rig, or will I be biting off more than is worth chewing? How much does it cost to get a commercial license anyway? I can afford the truck, but how bad will my operating costs be? I hear stuff about semis paying huge taxes. That's only for commercial use though right? The NASCAR guys don't pay commercial rates cause its a privatley used rig, right?
