What is the depreciable tax class life of an RV (recreational vehicle)?

We have searched several tax research sources and can find no definative answer. Has anyone had experience depreciating an RV?

1. Is the RV used in a business? If so, I would guess the same class as other automobiles. If it is for personal use, you can't claim depreciation.

2. It's 5-year MACRS property. You probably can't take a Section 179 deduction, though, because the vehicle would have to be under a certain weight limit - I think 6,000 pounds.
