After reading the Cali law I am able to tow my Jeep and a boat behind my motorhome if my length is 65ft or under bumper to bumper and allowed up to 70ft total length included over hang such as boat over hang goes past trailer.

My Nevada class c license is good but I will just need a health cert from medical doctor for California.
Nevada no longer requires a R endorsement if trailers are under 10,000 lbs, that also includes double towing.
