(1) Cooking facilities;
(2) A heating system or air conditioning system, or both, separate from the vehicle
engine or the vehicle engine electrical system;
(3) A self-contained toilet or a toilet connected to a plumbing system with connection
for external water disposal, or both;
(4) Portable water supply including plumbing and a sink with faucet either self-contained
or with connections for an external source, or both;
(5) Sleeping facilities;
(6) A refrigerator; or
(7) A one hundred ten or one hundred fifteen volt system separate from the vehicle
engine electrical system either with its own power supply or with a connection for an
external source, or both, or a liquefied petroleum system and supply.
The systems provided in subdivisions (2), (3), (4), and (7) and (4) shall be permanently
installed and meet American National Standards Institute and National Fire Protection
Association standards in effect on the date of manufacture.
The application shall include a picture of the vehicle and an affidavit signed by the truck
tractor owner stating that the vehicle will not be used for private business use and that the
vehicle meets the requirements of this section. The department shall provide the form for the
affidavit. If the department is satisfied that the conditions of this section are met, the department
shall issue a converted motor home title.
