Conditioning the truck is a technical term used in the FMCSA regulations which can mean any type of repair, service, wash, etc. Putting the truck into condition to operate is how they interpret it.
Can you road trip in your semi like an RV?

purely speculation/opinion with nonlegal backing, but the only reason I can partially agree with is the fuel could be used at a later time for business purposes and just because you are using the truck for personal conveyance doesn't always mean it isn't "business". Think of it like a company car. -

One more thing to note. Depending on the state, and their requirements, even on PC on must pull into scale houses.
Remember that even though you using it for personal use it is still a CMV and falls under all CMV laws.Team818, Bean Jr., brian991219 and 2 others Thank this. -

I’ve done this plenty with the fifth wheel hooked to the Ram. It was always PC. I never did maintenance while I was camping.
i did count the miles toward IFTA, it’s just easier to leave it all in there
Parking in a campground is a case-by-case scenario. I’ve only ever seen one semi truck conversion camper, just call ahead.Bean Jr. and 24kHotshot Thank this. -

C'mon man, here's the deal, get yourself an old truck, like the Pete in my avatar, register and insure it as "antique" or "historical" and have fun seeing the sights and hitting all the antique truck shows. It would likely run better than the modern junk anyway. Man, I wish I had the time.
What's that you say? The G wants all trucks older than 7 years off the highways? Yeah, I guess that spoils that, but hey that's what everyone voted for right. Well, here's the deal, you can still sell your "old" truck to a MX carrier and they can still use it to transport freight in the U.S. Hey, at least you get to recoup some of your money back, just make sure you give 10% to the "big guy."RocketScott Thanks this.
