Hello, Hopefully there is a simple answer for this but I am scratching my head right now. I ran into a cyclical problem when I thought about trying to attain RV insurance and RV license. I can't buy or drive my RV without first getting RV insurance. I can't get RV insurance unless I have my RV license (I think??). And I can't get my RV license without first having an RV.
With a car, it was easy to rent or borrow someone else's vehicle to practice and pass the driving test. With an RV, it doesn't seem like there are many services that let you rent and practice a 42' fifth wheeler... What is the order that people usually accomplish this? Am I missing some part of this equation?
(Relevant only to those with RV license requirements in specific states & weight restrictions). FYI - this isn't related to financing requirements, we are buying cash. But we definitely don't want to drive around without insurance coverage either.
Thanks!
Never heard of needing a RV license to pull a 5th wheel.:h
Not even in California.
Who told you that you needed a "RV" license?
