I admit I did not read through all of these comments but the 10k for a TT has to be actual weight and not just sticker weight. What brand make toy hauler do you have? Are you sure your trailer weighs over 10k when loaded? I am 1500lbs under my trailers max rating when loaded. Have you had it weighed? If not I would get it weighed and see where you stand then...
In California, it goes by the GVWR of the Travel Trailer. Doesn't matter what the actual scaled weight is. It could weigh 100 lbs, but over 10K GVWR and it's time for a Non Commercial A. I just went through this last month with my 5th Wheel. 5th Wheel between 10 and 15k, you need the Class C endorsement for 5th Wheels, over 15k and it's a Non Commercial A.

Although doesn't change anything about what you said in terms of requirement. The 10K - 15K GVWR 5th wheel is not an endorsement to your Class C license. It's actually a Class A with a Restriction 41. I've got one. The back of my driver's license says:
CLASS C - Veh w/GVWR <= 26000
ENDORSEMENTS: None
RESTRICTIONS: 41-Class A restricted to operating 5th wheel travel trailer between 10,000 and 15,000 lbs GVWR
Easy to get this. Had to take 1/2 of a Class C written, and the same written test you take for Class A non-commercial. And pay some money.
