for an RV to be classified as a second home it must have sleeping, cooking, and toilet facilities.
However, if your camper is towable, and not self-propelled, it does not qualify for tax breaks.
-
Sleeping Facilities: Your RV must have a separate sleeping compartment. Common areas like couches or benches for sleeping do not qualify. However, if your RV has a small room with a bed or a loft sleeping compartment, it satisfies the “sleeping facility” criterion.
-
Cooking Facilities: The RV should have a functional kitchen area. This typically includes a stove, oven, microwave, or other cooking appliances. Having a designated cooking space ensures that your RV meets this requirement.
-
Toilet Facilities: Your RV’s bathroom must have a fully-functional toilet and sink. Additionally, there should be a station for showering. An enclosed shower or a detachable shower head is acceptable. While luxurious features like a jacuzzi are not necessary, having basic bathroom amenities is essential.
