For those that have gotten the endorsement here is CA, what was the process? Is it just a written test?
The whole procedure is outlined in this info put out by the state.....
California RV handbook
Now I'm confused, I know it doesn't take much to get me this way, but on page 3 it says that no passenger vehicle can tow more then one trailer. This is under the class B and C section, there's nothing said under the class A section. Does anyone know were it states that a passenger vehicle can tow more then one trailer?
I was stopped once and I had my Commercial class A with doubles & triples endorsement and the only thing the LEO said was that I was over lenth on the single vehicle because my 5th wheel trailer was over 28'.
He let me go with a warning.
Your p/u is considered a commercial vehicle. Even .5 tons in California. Im not sure about other states. The class A laws have a lot to do with 26,001 and greater weight ratings and the commerce you do with that vehicle. It is legal in Ca to tow doubles with a p/u.
The verbage in the VC is what makes thing confusing to most folks. Thats why when towing doubles in Ca it states semi or trailer. A 5th wheel trailer would be considered a semi. Not a trailer, unless it is the only "trailer". When towing doubles it is the semi and the rear trailer is the "trailer". Everything gets reclassified when you change the setup.
