Let's back up for a moment. CA requires a NON-COMMERCIAL CLASS "A" license for 5ers over 15,000 Gross Vehicle Weight; an endorsement on a class "C" for 5ers 10-15,000. Also to take into consideration is that by definition, any vehicle or combination of vehicles OVER 26k requires at least a class "B" license. California does go on total weight of vehicles and tows, AND if you are licensed for "triples" in your home state, you ARE NOT legal in CA.
It is always smart to weigh your rig fully loaded with everything including passengers and fuel/water/sewage so you know you are legal wherever you go.
My apologies for misquoting some of the RV licensing requirements in CA. I've since corrected my original post. My misquote aside, the real issue is whether there is any documented reciprocity between states in terms of licensing for heaver RV's---especially those over 26k GCWR. 26k GCWR is the threshold used by most states for requiring special RV licensing.
