Wanna see the RV market dry up? Make you pass a CDL to pull it... There will be alot of new 9900lb trailers hitting the market..
Don't think so, didn't happen to motorcycles when endorsement was required. Sorry but an endorsement for towing a 10,000# 5er makes more since than an endorsement for a motorcycle!
You're probably right if it's just the endorsement, but the original rumor as reported by the OP was the requirement of a CDL. That means getting a medical too and lots of people who are RVers may not pass that medical. However, I don't think any law makers either Federal or State are seriously considering requiring a CDL for recreational motorhome use.
But I should also note that I did see one of the requirements in one state for getting the non-commercial Class A to drive a motorhome was you had to parallel park it as part of the test. I wonder how many people could do that. When I pull mine in front of my house I actually have to parallel park to get between two trees that overhang the road, but I have plenty of room between the trees. Other than that, I can't think of any other time I've ever parallel parked my motorhome.
Had to parallel park my crew cab longbed/5er combo to get my Tx class A
