I have searched the CA vehicle code quite a bit, and I have never seen where it says they go by model designation.
Also, thats not what the CHP officer I talked to said. He said the law specifically states "any house care over 40' requires the Class B NCDL" Therefore if your mh is a 1/4" over 40', it applies to you.
As i previously stated, i seriously doubt if a CHP office will pull out a measuring tape under a routine stop for something else...but if you're involved in an accident, all bets are off. And you can be sure that your insurance company will make an issue of it.
So, I really don't see what the problem is. If your coach (in CA) is over 40 in actual measured length....why not go ahead and get the Class B NCDL?
