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.
if you're in a state that has an additional license/endorsement for that type of vehicle (yes, they exist even if many have never heard of it), there are usually services that provide vehicles for the test.
If the license/endorsement is based on weight, truck drivings schools may have setups that can be used for that classification. It's often doesn't have to be a RV, just a vehicle with a trailer that meets the weight or length or whatever classification. Some RV dealers may also allow you to borrow the trailer you have purchased along with their driver with the license/endorsement to accompany you and have it covered by their dealer's insurance for the test.
It's all based on the requirement for that license/endorsement so don't focus only on an RV, but what meets the requirements for the test.
