i have searched the forum before I posted to ask but could not find what I was looking for.
has anyone taken the CA non commercial class A test? my TH has a gross weight of 10,900 so I need to take the test. the written part looks simple but the skills part is what I am a little more concerned about. when backing up is there a way this has to be done? as in driver position? the handbook for RVs does not really state and the class C handbook says to look over your right shoulder. I am not good at backing up the trailer using the mirrors. I am used to looking over my right shoulder as well as the mirrors, Im sure this comes from backing up boats down ramps. will they not allow this since technically your vision is blocked. also with backing in the "camp site" I normally have a spotter talking to me on my Bluetooth. are you allowed to get out and look and reposition the trailer, I think I read somewhere you have 6 try's at this.
any advise or tips would be awesome.
Do you have a bumper pull or a 5th wheel? If it's a 5th wheel, you can get the RV endorsement instead of the Non-com Class A. The test is just a written test for the endorsement (no practical test).
