In order to get the Non Commercial A license in California you must take the written test and pass, schedule an appointment at one of the Commercial DMV Test Facilities for the Non Commercial A driving test which includes a pre-trip inspection, skills test, and a driving test with a 5th wheel exceeding 15,000 GVWR or travel trailer exceeding 10,000 GVWR and pass all the tests. They will not test you with a 5th wheel that has less than 15k GVWR or travel trailer less than 10,000 GVWR. You must also fill out the medical questionnaire and have it on file with the DMV. If you do not have a valid medical questionnaire on file your drivers license reverts back to the basic Class C license.
The front of my Non Commercial A license says Class AM1. The back says "Restrictions: 71-CL. May only tow non-CDL single trlrs."
