Do you have to have a special driver's license?

I don't, because I would buy one light enough so that my Oklahoma Class C permit qualifies. Class C is the "normal" private vehicle category in Oklahoma.

However, it is also possible to buy a type A motorhome heavy enough to put the license into a different category, particularly when towing. Weight ratings determine license categories more often than does length.

At 34-38 feet, one can find motorhomes with GVWR from 16,000 to 33,000 pounds, GCWR from 20,000 to 43,000 pounds or more. So that length range covers a lot of the licensing spectrum for most states. Weight ratings determine license categories more often than does length.

For accurate information related to OK licenses, google "Oklahoma title 47"

Your "normal" license is a D (not a C). And in OK, for RVs, weight is irrelevant. With your D, you can drive a 54,000 GVWR Prevost, and pull your toys in a 12,000 GTWR enclosed trailer.
