at the very least that state seems to want to try and disqualift all older vehicles in some form or another.. RV's take a lot of exemptions but if they can see it doesnt meet one of the RV requirements I could see them saying "sorry" until you fixed whatever it needed..
id just read up a bit

From the CA Vehicle Code per DMV website:
The following vehicles are identified as housecars for registration purposes:
Motorhome—A motor vehicle designed to provide temporary living quarters, built as an integral part of, or permanently attached to, a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis or van and includes a motorhome manufactured by a licensed motorhome manufacturer.
Motorhomes must contain permanently-installed independent life support systems which meet the criteria of the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and provide at least four of the following facilities: cooking, refrigeration or ice box, self-contained toilet, heating and/or air conditioning, a portable water supply system including a faucet and sink, a separate 110 to 125 volt electrical power supply and/or liquid petroleum (LP) gas supply. Van campers do not contain the permanently-installed independent life support systems identified by the ANSI for motorhomes.
Motorhomes that do not exceed 45 feet (540 inches) in overall length or 8.5 feet (102 inches) in width may be registered in California.
It currently has two burner propane stove, fridge, fresh and grey water tanks with sink, and solar set up as well as shore with 120. So I think that checks off four. And my plans would be to immediately install a composting toilet. So hopefully good on the requirements.
