It is no different than driving an air brake equipped truck! If you need a CDL to drive a truck then I think you should have to pass some sort of test to drive a heavy class A.
X2; IMHO it is totally absurd that in many states people with no training can drive vehicles that would require CDLs if they were used for anything else than private RVing. Driving an air brake-equipped vehicle even requires an endorsement beyond the basic CDL; not requiring the same of RV owners simply demonstrates that RVIA and FMCA have effective lobbying organizations.
You need a CDL to be a chauffeur. By you logic everyone needs a CDL to drive a car.
You do NOT need a CDL to be a chauffeur!
U-Haul trucks do not require a CDL and people renting one of these every few years is much more dangerous than MH drivers
U-Haul trucks top out at 18,500lb GVWR, well under the CDL cutoff (>26,000).
