Most of the web pages I've seen about RV related legal stuff like
"Do you need a special license"
Or
What can you tow (single or double)
Or
DO you need brakes on the trailer
All have errors.
This is the only answer I'd trust: Your millage may vary.
By that I mean the answer depends on WHERE you live and WHAT you drive/tow
Some states require a special endorsement. Some require it if you are over xxxxx pounds... And the number of pounds varies from state to state. YOUR HOME STATE (That is the one that issues your license) makes the decidsions.
EXAMPLE. at Less than 26,000 pounds from Michigan I need only an "Operators" (Standard Driver's license)
IN Texas over 26000 pounds I'd need an endorsement. Under 26000 I do not know. Actually I do not know if it's 26000 pounds either.
