Driving license and vehicle license covers you for all 50 states, canada and mexico
There is one huge caveat to that however.
As stated previously, reciprocity does NOT cover equipment regulations, so if your coach has air brakes and your home State does not require an air brake endorsement, you are NOT legal in states (or Canada) where such IS required.
Yeah, I don't believe this is true. California does not require an airbrake endorsement so that's a lot of motorhomes being driven in other states.
This is NOT true as you suspect. Your home State RULES! No matter what CA may or may not require, it does not apply to you. The only CA rule that "used" to apply, no matter where you were from, was the 60' max length, but that was repealed.
