The systems provided in subdivisions (2), (3), (4), and (7) 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.
