No state limits the length of MHs to 40' but some like CA require a CDL type licence for RESIDENTS if they have a 40+ MH. When I take my 42' into CA I do NOT have to have a special licence... it's called reciprocity of licence but there is no reciprocity of length. Maybe with a four door Jeep behind a 45' MH you could be over 65'. I have traveled thousand of miles at 42' (with others that were 45') in Canada and never had an issue plus I've seen a bunch of Canadian tour buses that were 45'.
No state requires an actual CDL for personal noncommercial use of RVs, though several do require noncommercial licenses beyond the standard driver's license and frequently the requirements and classes of such licenses parallel the ones for CDLs. (General CDL requirements and applicability are determined at the federal level.)
Maryland restricts motorhomes longer than 40' from most non-interstate roads. The
District of Columbia prohibits them entirely.
