California requires the Non Commercial A for 5th Wheels over 15k GVWR and Travel Trailers over 10k GVWR for Ca residents. My last truck was 10k GVWR and my 5th Wheel is 15,700 GVWR. Under 26k but still required the Non Commercial A License. You are only required to be legally licensed for your home state.

There is an odd exception to towing a trailer with a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs with a Class C license in California. If the tow vehicle weighs 4000 lbs or more a Class C license is good for trailers weighing 9000 lbs gross or less.
The vehicle code is very clear on this but the documents available at the DMV are not. Some say it is OK and others say it is not. I think the vehicle code wins.
We've discussed this over on NROA before ;)
