Locally RV's are exempt from testing if they are personal use. I wonder if this will spread nationwide or just a few select states? Do you know if any other states require testing for RV's?
Here's a link to a table that gives a pretty good run-down state-by state:
ChangeingGears DL RequirementsAs alluded to above, in Texas - as in most states that have a special license requirement - this only applies to rigs that gross above 26,000 lbs. I don't know how big a motorhome has to be to hit the 26K point, but for fifths wheels, all it takes is a 14K trailer with a 1-ton dually.
In the states that do require a special license for your rig and you don't have one, you can get a citation for driving without a license. There are documented incidences of this happening in cases of license check points as well as accident situations - even if the RV driver wasn't at fault. Your insurance company can also choose to not cover you in an accident if you don't have the proper license. I don't want anyone to get "existed" (I think he meant exorcised). I just put this out there in the full-time forum because a lot of us who full time are domiciled in Texas.
