While I think that the 55 limit is a tad low, I'm not in favor of raising to match normal vehicle traffic. Exactly how fast should older, untrained, RV owners be allowed to drive thier 45K pound 65 foot long vehicle? Calif may have some restrictive towing laws but since they also have virtually no testing requirements to operate a large non commercial vehicle, I'm not so supportive of a increased speed limit while towing.
I think you need to check the CA driver licensing laws. SOME weight classes of RVs DO require special license endorsements, IIRC.
Maybe that only applies to trailers, I'm not sure.
Not weight class, just length class. The weight rule that requires a Class B, specifically exempts motorhomes. You can drive up to a 40 foot MH with a regular old Class C license. Now I do think the weight limit rule may apply with 5th wheels, but I haven't researched it in a while so I'm not sure. It would have to be a really big 5th wheel.
