2. What drivers licenses do you need and/or certifications. Not sure about Canada but in the US, anything over 26,000 lbs requires a Class A, non-commercial license. In Canada, you will at least need an air-brake certification.
In the US, this varies from state to state, and depends on what state you're a resident of. Many states (including mine) do not require any special license for any RV, regardless of size. Others have licensing classes that parallel the federal commercial driver's license classes (which is basically what luvlabs is describing). A few have entirely different categories.
Every state does recognize the licenses of the other states, though, so if you're legally licensed to drive the vehicle according to your home state, it applies throughout the country.
None of this is particularly pertinent to a Canadian citizen, of course.
