1. More internet folklore.
2. I have an Illinois class "B" license and have never heard of an air brake endorsement for RV's.
1. I was a witness to this event while on duty at the entrance to the campground at Illinois Beach SP.
2. See: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/dsd_cdl10.pdf page 62.

Why?
That's a study guide for a CDL- put out by the Illinois Secretary of State's office.
As noted before, private recreational vehicles are exempt from the requirement you evidently refer to. Maybe the rig you saw was a charter or something. That would make them subject to the requirement.
Long before Page 62, you have Page 3 which states "1.3 Drivers Exempt from Obtaining a CDL — Recreational vehicle operators, when using the vehicle primarily for personal use, do not need a CDL." That right there makes you exempt from any requirement of the CDL licensing provisions. Now there may of been other reasons for the "impounding" of his Prevost!
