CA DL Classes Sorry, I see toedtoes already linked this.
There doesn't appear to be a combined gross limit with either comm or non-comm class A, as long as the vehicles are within other weight limits. (40 ton?)
You need a class A for fifthwheel over 15k gross rating, or over 10k for bumper pull. Not what it actually weighs, but what it is rated for. Can be comm or non-comm. Can be over 26k combined with either comm or non-comm. You cannot get a doubles endorsement on your non-comm class A, which is a big issue for those who want to double tow in CA.
Class C can pull up to 14,999 fiftwheel, but over 10k requires the rule 41 endorsement.
So if your fiver is going to be rated for 16k gross, you need the class A, regardless of whether it is over 26k combined.
