azdryheat is correct. Any other vehicle weighing over 26k GVWR requires the non-commercial class B or whatever is appropriate. Motorhomes are specifically exempted from the weight requirement. Now the length requirement does apply and it will go by the actual length of the motorhome, not to include things like bike racks, spare tires, mirrors, ladders, etc. I'd have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure bumpers are included so the measurement would be bumper to bumper regardless of what the length sticker on the motorhome says.
Now having said that, if you have a sticker on the side of your motorhome that says it's 40 feet long, I seriously doubt that any cop is going to get out there with a tape measure to find out it's really 41', but that's a risk you have to decide if you want to take. Check first on the Allegro and see what that extra 1'1" really is. It may be the front mirrors and the ladder combined, which would make you legal.
