I have no way of proving this but I would be willing to bet that there are more improperly licensed RV drivers than there are properly licensed drivers. Most States do little when it comes to enforcing the licensing laws when it comes to driver classes or endorsements, and even less in providing RV education about the law, driving safety etc.
On most holiday weekends the Illinois State Police will have an "enforcement weekend" where they are looking for seat belt usage, DUI, proof of insurance, etc.
One year, on one of those weekends, they set up shop at the entrance to one of the state park campgrounds and when they heard the telltale sound of air brakes, checked the operator's licenses for the proper classes, endorsements and restrictions.
Imagine the embarrassment of the owner of a Prevost when he was ticketed and his MH was towed to the impound lot because he didn't have an air brake endorsement on his Illinois "Class D" drivers license.
