I'm in the software business, and I want to be able to use the conversion as a workspace sometimes. The bus is big and it can go to nice scenic locations that I enjoy working in. So some software will get produced on board by me and my employees. The software will hopefully produce a profit. Does creating intellectual property in the confines of the vehicle make it a commercial vehicle with all that entails, do you think? Note I would never have as many as ten on board. ...What I also wonder about is the full time outside sales person, who spends their whole day on the road, working from a laptop in the front seat, with hanging file boxes and sales samples in the trunk, and a bluetooth headset attached to their ear. Their entire income is derived from their automobile usage. But I presume they mostly all have normal personal policies.Further, what about lawyers, who often bill hundreds of dollars an hour for calls and voice mails while driving their own car. I'm pretty sure my own lawyer bills at least a few hundred dollars a day just on his commute to and from work. This is for profit, but I doubt it requires him to buy a commercial policy and keep a log book of miles etc... Do these exceptions exist because they are using passenger cars? Or are they really not exceptions?
I was under the impression my bus conversion "housecar" is legally a passenger vehicle in the same legal category as a family automobile. My registration defines the vehicle type as "auto."
