I have been using a MD IH with a DT 466 and a 5+2 for five years now. I would never consider going back to a pickup to haul tractors. I get as good or better fuel milage than any 1 Ton on the road, plenty of power, never worry about the wind and most importantly it stops when I want it to.

As for registering it as a RV, unless it is a RV built by a NOTICED company, don"t do it. The state may register it but no insurance company will look at it, even for liability only. Mine is set up as an RV but not registered that way. It is insured as a farm truck. I don"t have commercial plates(I don"t do anything for hire)so stopping at ports is optional. It depends on where you are located. I spent days with my local DOT and everyday as I talked to different people I got different answers. Myself I usually stop at the ports and have only had any kind of problem one time-in Wyoming.

Bottom line is go for it-I am sure you will like it.
