California does require a non-commercial Class A to drive a Class A RV over 40 feet. AND AS WITH ALL 50 STATE IF YOU HAVE THE PROPER LICENSE IN YOUR HOME STATE, YOU ARE GOOD THERE.
There are roads that the state prohibits an RV over 40 feet are prohibited. Few RV drivers obey that law as the DMV website that has the roads published are generally short sections of roads. Highway 89 from I-80 at Truckee has half a dozen short sections that are “illegal “ to travel in a 40 RV. That said I’ve never heard of anyone being cited.
