Here in the formerly golden state of confusion possibly caused by Bent
Finances, previously referred to as CaliFUNia, 'taint either:

��A �house car� is a motor vehicle originally designed, or

permanently altered, and equipped for human habitation, or

to which a camper has been permanently attached. A motor

vehicle to which a camper has been temporarily attached is

not a house car except that, for the purposes of Division 11

(commencing with Section 21000) and Division 12

(commencing with Section 24000), (CA Veh. Code)

*It's rather like a taint.  Taint car, taint camper.  *

*Pensionerd.  Proud, impoverished, owner of 1Br 1Ba Studio w/ kitchen 4wd
HouseCar.*
