What requirements does it take to for a vehicle to be considered an RV in Texas?

Question

I. E; sleeping quarters, restroom, cooking range. What are the minimum requirements?

Answer 1

I'm not sure that there is a legal definition in TX. The RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association) defines an RF as follows:

"A vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational camping, travel or seasonal use. RVs may have their own motor power (as in the case of motorhomes); may be mounted (as are truck campers); or towed by another vehicle (as are travel trailers and folding camping trailers). Not included in the RV definition are conversion vehicles, off-road vehicles, Emergency Living Units and manufactured housing for long-term residence (park trailers and mobile homes)."

Laws in various jurisdictions further define "RV" as including snowmobiles, 4-wheelers, etc.

Much would depend upon the context in which the term was being used. For example, if you lived in a condo complex that prohibited parking 'RVs' on the premises, the bylaws would probably have to explicitly define the term RV for it to be enforceable since it's open to wide interpretation.

Answer 2

You might find the info on the official state website. Are you looking for vehicle registration info or qualifications to pull it on the road or what. Texas D.O.T. might have some info, your local tax office (motor vehicle) may be of help also.
