Do you need CDL for RV or motor homes?

It depends on the size and weight of the RV or motor home. In general, a CDL is not required to drive a recreational vehicle (RV) or motor home if the vehicle meets the following criteria:

- Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 26,001 pounds

- Tow a vehicle with a GVWR of less than 10,000 pounds

However, a CDL is required to drive an RV or motor home that exceeds these limits. The specific CDL class required will depend on the weight and configuration of the vehicle.

Here are some additional factors that may affect whether or not you need a CDL to drive an RV or motor home:

- Some states have lower or higher GVWR limits for non-commercial vehicles. Check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for the specific requirements in your area.

- If you are towing a vehicle with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or more, you may need a Class A or Class B CDL, depending on the combined GVWR of the RV and the towed vehicle.

- If you are operating a commercial RV or motor home for hire, you will likely need a CDL, regardless of the size of the vehicle.
