" RV's do not require CDL (commercial driver's license) unless you are one of the people that deliver them from the manufacturer or if you are getting paid $$ to transport them."
Not QUITE entirely true. At least ONE state (CA) requires a Class A CDL with Doubles Endorsement for towing RV doubles ( defined as truck/trailer/trailer by many people). The reason being, so I have heard, is that that is the ONLY license that can have such an endorsement.
Actually, the CDL is a Federally mandated minimum. All states are free to exceed that minimum if they so desire. Any state can mandate that ALL drivers have a CDL and a current medical certificate if they decide it would enhance highway safety!
