I bought our coach in Missouri, and asked the dealer if I needed a special license. The answer was no. That was partially true.
After driving all over the U.S. I decided for some reason to research the license requirements. Apparently there are several states in the U.S. that require a special license for some RV's. I realized that I had been in four of those states and technically did not have a license.
My coach weighs in at 28,000 pounds which is over the 26,000 pound limit that many states have. For example, Texas requires you to have a non-commercial class B license for an RV over 26,000. Sure, I don't need that in Missouri, but in Texas I could have gotten a ticket for no license.
Moral of the story, check the requirements of where you will be traveling, not just where you live.
Happy RVing!
