It's a class B license, not CDL. You use the CDL manual but you only learn what's on the last 12 pages or so. It is the most stupid test I have ever taken as it asks questions like "How many lights must be installed on a farm tractor used on the highway", "what color are the marker lights on the rear of a vehicle" or "In what year were license plate lights required". Not 1 question had anything to do with driving or operating an RV or even anything to do with anything you have control over. There is then a driving test that requires you drive a per-determined route setup by the instructor. At some point he/she will have you stop and back up in a straight line for 40 feet. That's about it other than turning left and right and returning to the DMV.
You will need the class A as you mentioned. Gross combined weight is over 26K and towed trailer is over 10K so class B does not apply. Here's a link to the manual which shows what sections you need to study on page 1-2. Scroll down the page to get to the manual.
