Do You Need A Commercial License To Drive A Class A Motorhome?
class A motorhomes are big. At the high end they’re as big as a full size bus. The reason being is that because they’re exactly that – a converted bus.
Driving one of these monsters is just a bit different the driving around in a car or SUV so you may be wondering if you need to get a special license to drive one.
Surprisingly, the answer in most states is no. If the state you live in has deemed you qualified to drive a car, they also have deemed you qualified to drive a class a motorhome.
Of course, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. They’re big, and handle much different especially in bad weather than anything you’re used to driving unless you already have a commercial driver’s license. Fortunately, there are plenty of training programs available for motor home owners so that they can learn how to safely operate their RVs safely.
