10000 lb Gcvw is where you start wading into commercial territory if you are travelling interstate. Rv' s for personal use are pretty much given a pass. If the rv is used for commercial purpose (trade shows, transporters) it is a commercial vehicle.

As others have mentioned licensing is controlled by your home state.
Personal use can be loosely defined as: owned and registered to a real person, no logos/business advertising/not claimed as a depreciable asset on your taxes.
