I went to the Nevada DMV just for this new license law that started 2 years ago and they said yes if your motorhome has a GVWR over 26,001 lbs you have to get a non commercial type license.
My motorhome is well under this but when I hookup my trailer with Jeep and boat than I am over the limit, I don't plan on getting the license as of yet since I have heard most highway patrol men don't know the new law as of yet and when out of state the highway patrol don't know the correct law either for Nevada..
For drivers license requirement, doesn't the GVWR NV DMV cites only apply to the vehicle you're operating exclusive of what you are towing?
As I understand it the DMV law states 26,001 lbs or more even if its a single motorhome or includes if whole package motorhome/trailer GVWR is over 26,001 lbs.
However I have something on my side if ever pulled over, my custom built open stacker trailer has no GVWR rating on it, its not required by DMV on custom builds, only the empty trailer weight is listed, so a highway patrol officer would have nothing to go on as of GVWR for the trailer..
Not sure of my actual weight while towing but it could be over 26,001 lbs but not by much, I will always say I weight under that.
