It really all depends on the state. For instance, in Texas (per the TxDPS regulation) if you are pulling a trailer that weighs more than 10K you would need a Class A (not a standard Class C) license. If the trailer is less than 10K then one would require a Class B license.

TxDPS Licensing

Many folks do not meet this requirement and many may not even know it exists. So I would definitely ensure you call your local Department of Motor Vehicle (or equivalent) to ensure you meet the licensing standards.

Iread the exemptions and there is basically exemptions for RV's. "CDL" COMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE" It says at the start, "You are exempt if you are pulling an rv for personal use. Unless that weigh station says all vehcles inluding rv's, buses ect. No need to weigh and I sure would worry about getting a CDL. I have in years past seen sign at a scale that said ALL TRUCKS, BUSES AND rv's must weigh but havent seen those signs since the nation wide CDL laws took effect. I find it hard to beleive that I could be stopped while Rv'ing thru Texas and be parked until I obtained a CDL or a particular class of license when my state and many other dont require it. For what its worth however, I see nothing wrong with getting a class A endorsment if you can get one with your RV in tow.

Tom, I didn't say a CDL. In Texas a Class A license is not a CDL. Texas has a CDL and a non-commercial license for the large vehicles. If you read the info on the link provided it distinguishes the difference.

And with the reciprocity agreements Texas would not require you to have a Class A unless you had a Texas DL.
