Do I Need A CDL to Drive A Class A Motorhome?

Do you need a CDL to drive an RV? For most RVs, the answer is no. However, if you're driving a Class A motorhome or towing exceptionally large or heavy trailers, some states require special licenses. Weight and length thresholds vary by state, with some requiring a CDL or non-commercial Class B license for vehicles over 26,000 lbs or longer than 45 feet. While you can title and register your RV in a different state, your driver’s license and domicile dictate which state’s licensing rules apply. Understand the requirements in your state to stay compliant on the road.

Michigan has taken a significant step forward in recognizing the practicality of Japanese mini-trucks, micro vans, and Kei cars for on-road use. The Michigan Department of State (MDoS) has updated its policy, reclassifying these vehicles from off-road to on-road use, and is issuing new titles and registrations to affected owners. This decision marks a major win for mini-truck enthusiasts and paves the way for greater acceptance of these versatile vehicles.

Do I Need a CDL To Drive a Skoolie?

Converting a surplus school bus into a traveling home is nothing new; these were some of the first ‘motorhomes’ as we know them today, and people have been doing these to varying degrees of complexity for decades now.
