Yes, non-commercial class A exists in California. Required if you are pulling a recreational vehicle that meets one of the two following limits:
1 - Bumper pull with GVWR over 10,000 lbs
or
2 - 5th wheel with GVWR over 15,000 lbs
There is another odd one not talked about much, which I have. Non Commercial Class A with Restriction 41. This is required for a 5th wheel where the GVWR is between 10,000 and 15,000 lbs. For this, take the same written test as the non-commercial Class A - but skip all the rest of the stuff. The stuff the OP is concerned about.
Restriction 41 is an endorsement for a class C not A for 5vers between 10k to 15k. Non commercial A is for over 15k.
Here is how it reads on my driver's license:
Class C
ENDORSEMENTS: None
Restrictions: 41-Class A restricted to operating fifth wheel travel trailer between 10,000 and 15,000 lbs GVWR
