Oregon Statutes 455.405 – Recreational vehicle conversion to structure
(1) A recreational vehicle that has a title issued by the Department of Transportation does not qualify as a structure. If a recreational vehicle is being converted to use as a structure, at the time of commencing the conversion the owner shall surrender the title and any registration issued for the recreational vehicle to the department for cancellation. A recreational vehicle that is converted to use as a structure is subject to the state building code.
