I have the class C RV endorsement which is a misnomer. It's more accurately called "Restriction 41" which specifically addresses 5th wheel trailers over 10K but less than 15K. I had to take a written test which, I believe, is the same one for non-commercial class A. No medical exam, Dr. note, etc. ... just the written test. Also, there was no fee. I would have had to retake the standard class C written test. But, I had recently renewed my license within 90 days - so that was waived. The biggest challenge was finding a person who knew what it was and what test to give me. It took one clerk and a supervisor (and about 20 minutes of searching).
On the front of my license:
Class: CM1
On the back:
Class: Class C & M1-Veh w/GVWR<=26000; No A; 2whl M/C, Mtr-drvn Cycle, Scooter
Endorsements:None
Restrictions: 41-Class A restricted to operating 5th wheel travel trailer between 10,000 and 15,000 lbs GVWR
This was what I expected. Instead they gave me class A and no test.
The clerk that helped me told me that this was the second time she did a FW endorsement. Her first had been the day before.
She had to get her supervisor to help her.
They had to start over from the beginning once.
It took about 20 minutes of typing stuff into the computer to finish the task.
