The Oklahoma Drivers Manual is certainly not clear. It only shows 4 types of license. Class A, B, and C commercial. And Class D non commercial. The class D says you can operate Cars, vans trucks under 26,001 lbs. (GVWR) recreational vehicles, fire trucks. That seems to say a class D will allow you to operate an RV without regard to weigh
That statement is simple enough to understand. It is plainly stated that a Class D allows the person to operate cars, vans and trucks under 26,001 lbs. and recreational vehicles and fire trucks without the weight requirement.
There are three categories of vehicles under 26,001 lbs. and two classes of vehicles over 26,001 lbs.covered with a Class D licensee.
It reads much as NC does in that recreational vehicles have an exception under the weight requirement and among other requirements.
I took the titles for my 39 ft. motorhome and my Jeep wrangler to the state licensee division. I presented them to the officer along with my driver licensee. I asked the officer if I could legally drive that motorhome while towing that Jeep with that licensee. The officer examined them and said I see no problem but let me check. The officer called headquarters and presented the information on my documents and was told that there was no problem with me operating the vehicles.
My driver licensee states: "Class: C-Any noncommercial single vehicle with a GVWR of less than 26,001 lbs. A vehicle towing a vehicle which has a combined GVWR of less than 26,001 lbs. operated by a driver 16 yrs. or older."
The kicker to that weight limitation is in the General Statutes of NC, Recreational vehicles are exempt.
Once a person is legal in their home state then they are legal in all the other states.
