I'm a retired Submarine Sailor. When we were in port, especially ports in Florida, and over seas, If you are careless and spill or discharge Sanitary Tanks (Black Tanks "BIG ones") on the land, in the water or on the pier, they can charge the Navy and the Ship hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean it up. My Commanding Officer was very paranoid about that topic and met with each duty section of the day and STRESSED the importance of proper supervision, proper line ups, proper prerevolution briefs and proper communications during the evolution. We had to have people manning the discharge hose stationed every 20 feet with communication devices. Love the channel. I'm VERY NEW to my Dynamax DX3 Super C diesel. The learning curve is VERTICAL! LOL! Your topic lessons are SPOT ON and I really appreciate them. THANK YOU for serving brother!
As a Truck Driver with 2M miles I have tried all the commercial truck gps navigation devices... Garmin is by far the best... That said in NJ by the coast you have Industrial and cottage areas next to each other... At the time I was testing the 3 major brands. Each directed my Semi down a cottage Rd. (I was sure all 3 wouldn't fubar me.) But, sure enough I came to a Y. 1st choice was one of those 10' bridges 2nd was further down another cottage road. (Remember my Semi is about 75 ft long!) So, I trusted all 3 wouldn't misguide me... But, an 1/8+ mile farther another 10' bridge. So, I tried using someone's wide driveway. (I can back a 53' Trailer into a slot with only 10" on either side) But, no matter what tricks I used, I couldn't do it... Mean while I had some @#$&@# laying on their horns the whole time! So, I got down from the cab and ask very kindly if one of them would guide me so I didn't take out the beautiful brick wall. I was told to FO... So I asked them to back up so I could pull straight. So I could back up the 1/8+ mile. To which more FO. I very kindly informed them either they move or very bad things were going to happen. So, I backed the rig up to the Y where performed a 15 point turn (with the fine person laying on the horn the whole way!) In other words... We have a Rand McNally Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas with very specific road limitations. Get one and it only takes a few minutes to use it, if you don't want to go through what I experienced... PS, If you Come across your neighbor with the $350k auto and very loud horn. Please thank them for their behavior...
In PA we have a non commercial class A and B for RVs over 26kl lbs or a truck and trailer when the trailer is over 10k lbs and the combination is over 26k lbs (same as a class A and B CDL. Very few of our driver's centers know of these and only a few can even do the test for them... So most don't have the proper license. As for insurance the towed vehicle is covered under the towing vehicle's insurance but only for liability, not the damages to it. So you would need a separate plan to include repairs. For not much more money a year I carry a full liability and damage coverage for our 5th wheel. One thing also to think about, when talking of your taxes and tax breaks... If you are traveling and making money that very well can make you a commercial vehicle (depending on the amount you make while traveling) and may open you up to USDOT requirements including DOT#, log books, weight station and possibly CDL licensing.
In my small town in Michigan the city ordinance says you cannot park your rv or trailer in your drive for more than 24 hours. Back when I was first starting I had my little pop up in the drive to wash and load it, and the next morning, before we left, they were there to ticket it!
You missed one legal issue and its open alcohol container state laws, especially while driving a motorhome. For many states if open alcohol container is found anywhere in the coach you can be ticketed. The best place to keep the open alcohol container is in the basement of the motorhome. I remember this was discuss a few years ago in some RV circles.
A part of me wishes that everyone would have to take/pass a driving test for towing larger units or driving motor homes of any size. Especially if they are a first-timer!! ;-)
Ok, I need to say that the Garmon 895 is Rad. I can't tell you how many times that Google Maps from my silly iPhone routed me with like... 4 consecutive left turns at busy intersections. I was frustrated and vowed to never follow any female voice other than my wife's!!! Great informative stuff here... you don't need to twist my arm to spend money on Amazon! Cheers!
In Wisconsin if the RV is under 45ft In length you do not need a CDL, if over 45ft then you need a Class B CDL. As far as weight goes the state highways are 80,000lbs and some of the county highways and back roads are Class B roads which are 48,000 lbs. During the spring thaw there will be temporary weight limits that very by county. Although I don't own a RV, I'm a retired truck driver and still have my Class A CDL so I can still drive anything out here. My feeling is that if you're going to buy an RV that weighs say 30-50,000 lbs it would be a good idea to take a course to drive a large vehicle, they react differently in the snow and on mountain downgrades.
Great Video and great advice on firearms. Massachusetts is tough. To carry you need a Massachusetts License To Carry (LTC), but I’m not sure what the requirements are if you just have it LOCKED in your RV while camping for a short time in the state. Also Mass does not require a specialized license to drive a Motorhome. Lastly, we always had insurance on our Travel Trailer. It was just peace of mind.
California A motorhome with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 14,001 pounds or more, even if registered out of state, would need to undergo a "Clean Truck Check" emissions test in California, as it falls under the state's regulations for heavy-duty vehicles requiring emission compliance checks due to its weight; this includes both in-state and out-of-state vehicles operating on California roads. Some port of entries are giving you notifications that you have 3 days to get it smogged or get out of the state.
Driver License : In Quebec, Canada, no need for special driver license Registered : yes and proof of insurance for the car towing Garmin : the best Taxes : Don't pay any and no write off. Safety and towing : very very similar Rv living Laws and Fire arms : We are full time and being in Quebec, Canada 6 months and 6 USA so Canada is pretty easy except for Fire arms. But always search on the government sites and get the info USA or Canada 🙂
Under the Insurance topic. While not legal - I would recommend adding a personal umbrella policy because, normally, the base coverage of a auto policy is not going to cover if your class A does serious damage to a high end rig at the resort.
When we went into Canada, we had our dogs with us. You half to have your dogs vaccines up to date and proof with you that they are. It must be written proof from the vet. Happy travels and thanks for the videos!❤
I use Release at home...just got Release and used it first on my dirty stove..WORKED GREAT!!!! Cleaned white doors and it took the dirt off fast!!! LOVE THIS CLEANER!
I know I can drive a RV as long I use as personnel or private uses in Illinois. Driving a coach bus as personal use that might be borderline class A restriction line.
Minor correction on HOAs. It’s not the By-Laws but the CC&Rs that will dictate parking. Fortunately my Arizona HOA, around 2012, voted to permit RV including boats to be parked behind the side gate. In other words in the side yard or rear yard.
In IL, a travel trailer must be registered with its own plate. You don't need insurance because the liability coverage of the tow vehicle typically covers any damage caused by the trailer in an accident. However, because we initially had a loan, we needed insurance for the trailer. We still have insurance for the trailer. It's only $300 a year. We do get tornadoes and hail in IL.
My favorite was out west I'd see the 2500 single rear wheel gas job pickup trucks hauling a massive 5th wheel double towing with a boat behind the RV. Many states don't allow double towing.
@@jrs4ex a lot of states your first trailer HAS TO BE A FIFTH WHEEL then you can have a bumper hitch trailer behind the fifth wheel. You can not have two bumper hitch trailers . An you can not have a bumper hitch then a fifth wheel.
@@kathyhathaway8823 That's good to know thanks for the input. It certainly takes some skills to back up a double setup. I'll never forget towing through Kansas and other windy states. Seeing empty tractor trailers that literally got blown over on their side on the highway.
Very good video with important topics, MJ and Izzy, thank you for this! The first time I drove a Class A diesel pusher was at a dealer here in Florida. I had no experience, no idea about air brakes, etc. The salesman had me drive onto a major interstate highway, and this was close to Thanksgiving, traffic was horrible! First time I hit the brakes I nearly put everyone through the windshield! I "grew" into it with experience, but it still amazes me that at least some training isn't required with perhaps some sort of specific licensing rider or qualifier. I'm sure this isn't the case because the RV industry has probably lobbied against it. I understand the difference between commercial and recreational vehicles, but still, driving a 55,000 lb. vehicle on a highway with other vehicular traffic does pose some challenges and potential dangers, especially for those lacking experience.
In IL, I believe tow dollies have to be registered and have a license on them if they are being hauled empty. However, if they are always used with a car on them, then no registration or license is required. Also a word of caution, if you carry towing insurance on your towing vehicle, but do not carry insurance on your towed trailer, some insurance companies will not cover the cost of a wrecker for the trailer should you experience a flat or something more severe.
We went to Canada this summer. Went thru Emerson/Pembina (ND). Both times, we offered the border officials our registration and insurance for tow vehicle and trailer. Both times, they said they didn't need to see it. All they looked at was our passports. I even gave them my dogs vet annual(shots) and they handed it right back. FYI, supposedly August 1, newer more strict pet laws were supposed to go into effect. Proof of shots, chip, and an online form filled out prior to crossing the border.
Got my Release two days ago. Looking forward to using it. There's a Reciprocity App. Always a good idea to have a safe in your rig in case you cross a border into a state that doesn't recognize your concealed carry permit. Then, of course, good luck if you travel to California or New York. I will be leaving both my firearms and their safe behind when I travel to Canada.
Interstate transportation of firearms is protected in all 50 states ( on the interstate system ) you can travel thru Chicago with a firearm while on the interstate, don’t break down and don’t exit the interstate but you can do it.
And of course you can't pull off the Interstate to re-fuel or eat. Luckily they don't have a Buckees in Chicago so no brisket, but there is always Cracker Barrel.
In California Class C normal Licence for House Car Under 40'. Registration requires smog check for gas motorhome and clean truck check for diesel, new regulation that is very confusing but should not be a big issue. I will have to get an annual opacity test if selected along with $30 dollar fee on to of regular registration which is $270 for mine. I have a dump at my house, very convenient.
In VA a tow behind trailer is covered under the policy for the tow vehicle while being toed. Once disconnected there is no coverage for damage caused by falling tree or any other cause of damage. You can obtain an insurance policy specifically for your TT or Fifth Wheel RV which will provide better coverage in case of damage to your RV.
Hey guys 👋🙂, Thanks for the updates. I appreciate the work and support you give to the RV community. I'll be a newbie soon and it's awesome how I can just click on Endless RVing. ✌️😃
South Carolina requires if you have an RV over 26001 lb you need a non commercial license for that. Also if you are towing a vehicle you need another license to be legal.
I have a motorhome registered in South Carolina because I own an RV lot there, and keep it there. However, I have a New Jersey drivers license. I spend about 5 months out of the year in SC. When I bought my coach I had no trouble registering it in South Carolina, and I asked could I operate that particular Coach Tiffin Phaeton 40 ft, with a New Jersey drivers license in South Carolina and they told me yes, so I am really confused!
I was told by the DMV that they rarely I force it due to not knowing the weight of every RV. I just made sure since I was living in SC I wanted to be legal. I have 36 ft Tiffin Phaeton.
We are in MA with a travel trailer. It is insured with the same company that does our home and cars. And when a tree fell on our camper in storage, our insurance covered the full value with no hassles, even though the value went up due to Covid. Sounds good that they paid off more than we paid for the rig until you realize the replacement rig was also more expensive. We did not make money on this, maybe lost some, but it was open and fair to all involved.
Pennsylvania requires a non commercial class A or B for RV’s that by weight , would qualify as a true commercial vehicle. The test is very easy, does not require a dot medical card or anything else. YAPD 1986-2012.
Informative video. I can speak to international travel into Canada. Recently, US CDC implemented new requirements for traveling with Dogs requiring the animal to be Chipped and a online registration completed (and receipt of completion) presented at the border when returning back to the US with the animal. Be careful being fresh fruit/vegetables/meats across the border either direction. It's recommended to carry a Canadian Proof of Insurance card (can be obtained from your US Auto Insurance company) since it meets the guidelines of insurance in Canada. And it goes without saying, don't try to cross the border with a handgun and certain knives, the former will land you in handcuffs and the latter will be confiscated. Certain Long guns can be transported to Alaska with appropriate forms completed prior to crossing. One more item - Drugs... Make sure you have any prescription meds in their original bottles with prescribing info and in terms of Marijuana, even if it's legal in the State your leaving and it's legal in Canada, crossing the border is NOT! You'll end up in handcuffs again.
You did not mention RV state required inspections of motorized vehicles. In NJ, I believe a state certified vehicle inspection is required for motorized RV 2014 and newer and over a certain weight. Did you get your MH inspected, and which MVC did you go to? Do other states require?
I have a chauffer endorsement not required in Missouri. I insure everything just for my protection .I live in a small town that will allow parking for a short period of time .
In Canada a DUI is a Federal offense. If you have gotten one in the States you will need to contact Imigration Canada to find out what you need to do to be able to drive in Canada. It is a long and expensive process so give yourself some time.
Some states may not require towable insurance but certain parks may require proof of insurance on your trailer. Thousand trails requires that trailers have insurance to stay at their parks. The information on firearms law for each state is readily available online. The laws vary widely. Some states are constitutional carry states. No permit is required to carry a firearm. Others require a permit to carry a firearm. There are other laws that also apply. Investigate each states laws before traveling there. A membership to an organization like US concealed carry association is not a bad idea. In the event you get into a situation they provide legal help.
@@scottleavitt7060 Scott, make sure you registered as a camper because in MA, It must be registered as a "CAMPER or AUTOHOME", if not, you need a non commercial class B license. Good Luck with Super C. I'm looking to get a Renegade Valencia myself within the next 6 months.
I turned on my friends to Release. Not for there RV but to clean there patio railing, chairs etc. it was great especially since they didn’t want to use a lot of water.
If you live in a state that requires a specific license and you don’t believe the police will check or care, that may be. If you don’t have the correct license and you have an issue where you need to use your insurance they will most likely not cover any claims because you aren’t supposed to be driving because you don’t have the correct license.
What do you say about all the people who bought RV''s Like Grand Design & Winnebago that are in the shop constantly. How about the Legal issues??? Put their life savings into an RV. How do you address all the people that have been taken to the bank??
In Pennsylvania, a “Non-Commercial Class B” driver's license is required to operate a motor home with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. But be beware that some employees at your local DMV office may not be aware of this. When applying for the Non-Commercial Class B license at the DMV office in Dublin, I was initially advised that my “Class C” license was all that was required to drive an RV. Upon advising the officer of the Non-Commercial Class B license, he left the window to confer with his supervisor and upon returning a couple of minutes later stated “That’s new to me, but you’re correct, a non-commercial class B is required to drive your RV”. Do your own research. If you Google “states with a Non-Commercial Class B requirement”, you’ll find a complete list of all states with license requirements for vehicles over 26,000 pounds.
Massachusetts requires registration (including number plates) of all trailers/towable vehicles. All registered vehicles/trailers are levied annual excise tax.
My travels to and from Alaska hasn't ever been a problem, but the only type of vehicle that I haven't traveled with thru Canada is a motor home. Don't take any guns through Canada!
@@EndlessRVing The roads are so much better today than my first trip in Feb '81. It's all been paved and straighten when possible but still posted at 45 MPH for most of all the Alcan. Most traffic will be going faster but then they learn hard about frost bumps that can launch them if they are going to fast. It's a beautiful drive but very long, especially from NJ. :😀
heres a little tidbit from California...my simple single axle utility trailer is 3000lb GVW and from this information right off california's transportation website it must have trailer brakes.... California Trailer Brake Laws Every trailer and semitrailer manufactured after 1940 with a GVW of 6,000 lbs. or more and operated at a speed of 20 mph or more must be equipped with brakes; trailers and semitrailers built after 1966 and with a GVW of 3,000 lbs. or more must have brakes on at least 2 wheels; every trailer or semitrailer built after 1982 and equipped with air brakes must be equipped with brakes on all wheels. Every trailer coach or camp trailer with a GVW of 1,500 lbs. or more must be equipped with brakes on at least 2 wheels.
Hi Izzy and MJ not sure what the law is here in Nevada as far as a license to drive an Rv. Our friends had rvs but never never asked about it. I don’t think so though just to drive Class Cs and As sorry I can’t help you there. But who would ever put their grey tank hose and black hose one the ground? When they are dirty. That’s just gross. Thank you for doing this video
My Tow vehicle and 5th wheel are registered in Kansas. Trailer registration / tag are usually required. Agricultural trailers are exempt. As for special license, Yes. CDL Class B for single vehicle over 26,000 lbs, CDL Class A required for multiple vehicles with combined weight over 26,000 lbs. Although they call it a CDL, It’s really Non Commercial. Love my Garmin RV890. We have been researching RV Life Trip Advisor connected via Android Auto. Thanks for the reminder on being Subscribed. I have been Unsubscribed twice.
I live in Arizona and I want to tow my car behind my class C motorhome and would love to know if there is some kind of place I can take a class to learn and practice instead of learning on the road Please advise 🙏🙏🙏
There are RV driving schools all across the US. If you happen to be a member Og FMCA (now called FRVA) and attend any of the International rallies, there’s one company that teaches it 4 days prior to the rally. I’m going to the one that’s in Perry, GA in March. Just search “RV driving school “ and results will show up. Hope this helps, since nobody else has chimed in.
From Florida only thing I can think of as far as specific endorsements is that if your from NY or NJ you cannot come to Florida. Have a great day all. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Biggest takeaway from traveling to Alaska is no firearms in Canada. Law is probably different but the average person cannot bring firearms into Canada.
One BIG thing on crossing into Canada or Mexico , especially Canada is no firearms or ammo. You could be spending a long time in jail if they find anything.
That is very true... Including Ammo, Guns of any kind = 20 yrs in a Mexican Prison (which is very evil!) Not to mention the Blackmailing of your family for your safety! As far as Canada goes you can bring in a Hunting Rifle or Shotgun with PRIOR AUTHORIZATION! (BEFORE You Reach the Boarder!)
Yes! Texas requires a Class A or Class B non-commercial driver's license to drive an RV with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 26,000 pounds. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ve noticed that the foamer looks very effective. Do you think that works better than the regular spray?? I’ve always wondered as I’ve looked at the prices of Release.
I have a legitimate question for you guys. As far as I know the condition of your vehicle (modifications) goes by the laws in your registered state. If I install modifications (underglow, LED light bars, horns, lift kits, exhaust, ect) on my vehicle, either motorhome or tow vehicle, and they are in compliance with my home state where my registration is does that trump the regulations of whatever state I may currently be in? If your truck is too high for NJ but legal in texas, where its registered, can you get a ticket for it in NJ?
Once again, I started a semi-rant on the last point, then blew it away. 8( My advice, keep any/all firearms hidden, out of view. That goes for friends/family/and foe. Licensed/unlicensed. They are used in life/death situations only, and by owner/spouse only. How to decide? A quick thought, "what would a jury of my peers think", only if time allows! Life/death NOW, nothing matters but our survival.!! I could talk hours around over regulation/under regulation. On to #1, that is a pandora's box also.The last time I did a rant here on that, I answered questions for 8 to 10 months after that!! So let me think, and get back on the rest. Maybe 1 topic at a time, we'll see. Maybe Izzy and MJ have a suggestion? In the mean time, take care and Peace. --gary
Oregon CDL Required for anything over 26,000 lbs unless its a motorhome. So a guy with a 18K Gross 5th Wheel Trailer has to get a CDL. But a 16 year old with a 45 ft diesel pusher with airbrakes can tow the boat down the highway. Fkn Genius!!!
Here in California, you need a non-commercial class A license for any trailer over 10001 lbs. but not for a motorhome. EVERY vehicle in California has to be registered and licensed so that they can get more $$$ We just got the 895 but haven’t used it yet.
@@MrNomadiac not gonna argue Ron. Under Class C says “any housecar under 40’ in length. I see the 26,000 lbs rule but a housecar appears to be an exception.
In Ohio, Article 1, section 1 and U.S. Constitution 5th and 14th Amendment, private property is held inviolate. License and registration is only required for commercial PERSONS or person-al property meaning corporations and individuals performing duties for those corporations. Ohio General Assembly created a federal legislative jurisdiction called the state of Ohio codified in O.R.C 1.59 G and H. Ohio has 3 branches of government, state of "the' or "this" state of OHIO is subject to the Act of Congress, in the case, O.R.C. 45 is subject to U.S.C. 49 pursuant to Article 1, section 8, clause 3 "COMMERCE. Any contract with a commercial entity is joinder....citation, registration etc. If, as a free people, the state of whatever makes demands like licensing and registration, start asking the question, how did we give our secured rights away....by contracts? Live free.........With that said, we must be 1st lien holder and true owner evidenced by all our paperwork being perfected, we live with a paper system. Enjoy the adventure
Here in NC ANY AUTO , TRAILER,travel trailer, motorcycle, motorhome anything on the road has to have a license tag an be registered an pay taxes on EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. And anything that is financed you have to have insurance on anything you are still paying on . Well as far as that goes we have two different insurance types for anything that is raged for the road . We have liability insurance an collision insurance if you finish paying off your vehicle you can drop your collision insurance but if you are in a accident an it is your fault the insurance will not pay. Also as far as a special driving license for Motor homes you do not have to have ANYTHING but just a regular car driver license. If you have a travel trailer the same but the weight limit is covered by what ever your truck is licensed for. So if you have say 8000 lb. License tags on your pickup truck that means your truck camper an EVERYTHING IN the truck and camper can not way over 8000 pounds an that includes PEOPLE, pets . EVERYTHING!!!!!. So if you put fresh water in your tank so if needed to have a place to use the bathroom. DO NOT PUT A LOT OF WATER IN YOUR TANK IF NOT NEEDED .
@@allynbroderick no you need nothing . Just so you have a regular driver’s license you can operate any RV . Motor home , travel trailer, A,B, C . NOT UNLESS THEY HAVE CHANGED IT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AN I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT. It may be a good idea for you to call the DMV . Drivers license office just to make sure there has not been any changes.
@@kathyhathaway8823 ........Just Google " do I need a special license to drive an RV in NC" ...you will see it there. My RV is 33,000 lbs, I have A class A CDL anyway so I'm covered, but my wife cannot drive it with her class C license.
@@kathyhathaway8823 You need a non-commercial class B. You can Google "Do I need a special license to drive an RV in NC"It explains the weight and license requirements
I have traveled to Canada many times over the last 40+ years. For the most part we have no problem crossing the boarder. But, firearms are not allowed, especially hand guns. I did obtain a permit to transport a shotgun I purchased in Alaska to the lower 48. Guns are not allowed for personal protection! Also pepper spray is illegal, bear spray is legal providing it is labeled “Bear Spray “.
If you are full time and parked in a BLM or Forest Service or other government run campground Do NOt tell any ranger or other "law enforcement" person that you are full time and have no permanent sticks and bricks home. It is ILLEGAL to RESIDE in the forest etc. so you legally cannot park anywhere on forest service land, even dispersed camping.
Some places like in Manitoba Canada if it’s a single rear axle class a has air breaks and the class a has a towing capacity of 15,000 pounds and you are towing a trailer 12,000 pounds you need the higher class license with the air endorsement if the class a has hydraulic breaks and a trailer under 10,000 pounds no higher class license or air break endorsement is needed if the class a has 2 rear axles the higher class license and air endorsement is required if the truck towing the trailer is over 9,920 pounds the truck needs a annual inspection to make sure it’s road legal if the camper or trailer is over 10,000 pounds with a 1 ton single or dual rear wheel the higher class license is required without a air endorsement if it’s a camper trailer or Motorhome with the higher class of license and air endorsement the CDL hours of service do not apply because it’s not commercial hauling of goods

As a Truck Driver with 2M miles I have tried all the commercial truck gps navigation devices... Garmin is by far the best...
That said in NJ by the coast you have Industrial and cottage areas next to each other... At the time I was testing the 3 major brands. Each directed my Semi down a cottage Rd. (I was sure all 3 wouldn't fubar me.) But, sure enough I came to a Y. 1st choice was one of those 10' bridges 2nd was further down another cottage road. (Remember my Semi is about 75 ft long!)

(I can back a 53' Trailer into a slot with only 10" on either side) But, no matter what tricks I used, I couldn't do it... Mean while I had some @#$&@# laying on their horns the whole time! So, I got down from the cab and ask very kindly if one of them would guide me so I didn't take out the beautiful brick wall. I was told to FO... So I asked them to back up so I could pull straight. So I could back up the 1/8+ mile. To which more FO. I very kindly informed them either they move or very bad things were going to happen. So, I backed the rig up to the Y where performed a 15 point turn (with the fine person laying on the horn the whole way!)
In other words... We have a Rand McNally Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas with very specific road limitations. Get one and it only takes a few minutes to use it, if you don't want to go through what I experienced...
PS, If you Come across your neighbor with the $350k auto and very loud horn. Please thank them for their behavior...
In PA we have a non commercial class A and B for RVs over 26kl lbs or a truck and trailer when the trailer is over 10k lbs and the combination is over 26k lbs (same as a class A and B CDL. Very few of our driver's centers know of these and only a few can even do the test for them... So most don't have the proper license. As for insurance the towed vehicle is covered under the towing vehicle's insurance but only for liability, not the damages to it. So you would need a separate plan to include repairs. For not much more money a year I carry a full liability and damage coverage for our 5th wheel.
One thing also to think about, when talking of your taxes and tax breaks... If you are traveling and making money that very well can make you a commercial vehicle (depending on the amount you make while traveling) and may open you up to USDOT requirements including DOT#, log books, weight station and possibly CDL licensing.
In my small town in Michigan the city ordinance says you cannot park your rv or trailer in your drive for more than 24 hours. Back when I was first starting I had my little pop up in the drive to wash and load it, and the next morning, before we left, they were there to ticket it!
This, to me was your BEST video, period...Very informative and wise...Good Job!!!...GB
You missed one legal issue and its open alcohol container state laws, especially while driving a motorhome. For many states if open alcohol container is found anywhere in the coach you can be ticketed. The best place to keep the open alcohol container is in the basement of the motorhome. I remember this was discuss a few years ago in some RV circles.
A part of me wishes that everyone would have to take/pass a driving test for towing larger units or driving motor homes of any size. Especially if they are a first-timer!! ;-)
Ok, I need to say that the Garmon 895 is Rad. I can't tell you how many times that Google Maps from my silly iPhone routed me with like... 4 consecutive left turns at busy intersections. I was frustrated and vowed to never follow any female voice other than my wife's!!! Great informative stuff here... you don't need to twist my arm to spend money on Amazon! Cheers!
In Wisconsin if the RV is under 45ft In length you do not need a CDL, if over 45ft then you need a Class B CDL. As far as weight goes the state highways are 80,000lbs and some of the county highways and back roads are Class B roads which are 48,000 lbs. During the spring thaw there will be temporary weight limits that very by county. Although I don't own a RV, I'm a retired truck driver and still have my Class A CDL so I can still drive anything out here. My feeling is that if you're going to buy an RV that weighs say 30-50,000 lbs it would be a good idea to take a course to drive a large vehicle, they react differently in the snow and on mountain downgrades.
Great Video and great advice on firearms. Massachusetts is tough. To carry you need a Massachusetts License To Carry (LTC), but I’m not sure what the requirements are if you just have it LOCKED in your RV while camping for a short time in the state. Also Mass does not require a specialized license to drive a Motorhome. Lastly, we always had insurance on our Travel Trailer. It was just peace of mind.
California
A motorhome with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 14,001 pounds or more, even if registered out of state, would need to undergo a "Clean Truck Check" emissions test in California, as it falls under the state's regulations for heavy-duty vehicles requiring emission compliance checks due to its weight; this includes both in-state and out-of-state vehicles operating on California roads.
Some port of entries are giving you notifications that you have 3 days to get it smogged or get out of the state.
Driver License : In Quebec, Canada, no need for special driver license
Registered : yes and proof of insurance for the car towing
Garmin : the best
Taxes : Don't pay any and no write off.
Safety and towing : very very similar
Rv living Laws and Fire arms : We are full time and being in Quebec, Canada 6 months and 6 USA so Canada is pretty easy except for Fire arms.
But always search on the government sites and get the info USA or Canada 🙂
Thank you for addressing this,
In S. Carolina require a class E or F to drive a rv above 26000 gvr with towing behind the rv.
You guys are the best.
Under the Insurance topic. While not legal - I would recommend adding a personal umbrella policy because, normally, the base coverage of a auto policy is not going to cover if your class A does serious damage to a high end rig at the resort.
When we went into Canada, we had our dogs with us. You half to have your dogs vaccines up to date and proof with you that they are. It must be written proof from the vet. Happy travels and thanks for the videos!❤
I use Release at home...just got Release and used it first on my dirty stove..WORKED GREAT!!!! Cleaned white doors and it took the dirt off fast!!! LOVE THIS CLEANER!
It’s Great Thanks for sharing
I know I can drive a RV as long I use as personnel or private uses in Illinois. Driving a coach bus as personal use that might be borderline class A restriction line.
Minor correction on HOAs. It’s not the By-Laws but the CC&Rs that will dictate parking. Fortunately my Arizona HOA, around 2012, voted to permit RV including boats to be parked behind the side gate. In other words in the side yard or rear yard.
In IL, a travel trailer must be registered with its own plate. You don't need insurance because the liability coverage of the tow vehicle typically covers any damage caused by the trailer in an accident. However, because we initially had a loan, we needed insurance for the trailer. We still have insurance for the trailer. It's only $300 a year. We do get tornadoes and hail in IL.
My favorite was out west I'd see the 2500 single rear wheel gas job pickup trucks hauling a massive 5th wheel double towing with a boat behind the RV. Many states don't allow double towing.
@@jrs4ex a lot of states your first trailer HAS TO BE A FIFTH WHEEL then you can have a bumper hitch trailer behind the fifth wheel. You can not have two bumper hitch trailers . An you can not have a bumper hitch then a fifth wheel.
@@kathyhathaway8823 That's good to know thanks for the input. It certainly takes some skills to back up a double setup. I'll never forget towing through Kansas and other windy states. Seeing empty tractor trailers that literally got blown over on their side on the highway.
A usual excellent advice❤ what about the new weight restrictions can u do a video on it. I'm so scared
In Illinois, towables have to be registered. Most times, your towing vehicle insurance covers towables, although I do insure mine.
Very good video with important topics, MJ and Izzy, thank you for this! The first time I drove a Class A diesel pusher was at a dealer here in Florida. I had no experience, no idea about air brakes, etc. The salesman had me drive onto a major interstate highway, and this was close to Thanksgiving, traffic was horrible! First time I hit the brakes I nearly put everyone through the windshield! I "grew" into it with experience, but it still amazes me that at least some training isn't required with perhaps some sort of specific licensing rider or qualifier. I'm sure this isn't the case because the RV industry has probably lobbied against it. I understand the difference between commercial and recreational vehicles, but still, driving a 55,000 lb. vehicle on a highway with other vehicular traffic does pose some challenges and potential dangers, especially for those lacking experience.
Totally Agree Wes
In IL, I believe tow dollies have to be registered and have a license on them if they are being hauled empty. However, if they are always used with a car on them, then no registration or license is required. Also a word of caution, if you carry towing insurance on your towing vehicle, but do not carry insurance on your towed trailer, some insurance companies will not cover the cost of a wrecker for the trailer should you experience a flat or something more severe.
We went to Canada this summer. Went thru Emerson/Pembina (ND). Both times, we offered the border officials our registration and insurance for tow vehicle and trailer. Both times, they said they didn't need to see it. All they looked at was our passports. I even gave them my dogs vet annual(shots) and they handed it right back. FYI, supposedly August 1, newer more strict pet laws were supposed to go into effect. Proof of shots, chip, and an online form filled out prior to crossing the border.
Good to know, thanks.
In Tennessee all trailers need to be registered and have tags renewed each year - minimal fee where I live - 30 dollars
In Alabama you have to show proof of current insurance on a towable to get tags. This may be because the registration shows RV not utility trailer.
Got my Release two days ago. Looking forward to using it. There's a Reciprocity App. Always a good idea to have a safe in your rig in case you cross a border into a state that doesn't recognize your concealed carry permit. Then, of course, good luck if you travel to California or New York. I will be leaving both my firearms and their safe behind when I travel to Canada.
Well done! Nailed it.
That is true and well said. Gun laws change frequently in CA and other states.
Michigan - towable requires 1 time registration and forever plate.
Interstate transportation of firearms is protected in all 50 states ( on the interstate system ) you can travel thru Chicago with a firearm while on the interstate, don’t break down and don’t exit the interstate but you can do it.
Same goes for double towing.
And of course you can't pull off the Interstate to re-fuel or eat. Luckily they don't have a Buckees in Chicago so no brisket, but there is always Cracker Barrel.
Thanks for addressing the Firearms legality issues.
In California Class C normal Licence for House Car Under 40'. Registration requires smog check for gas motorhome and clean truck check for diesel, new regulation that is very confusing but should not be a big issue. I will have to get an annual opacity test if selected along with $30 dollar fee on to of regular registration which is $270 for mine. I have a dump at my house, very convenient.
Thanks for sharing
I michigan a trailer is registered once nd the plate is good for life. The only special license is for double towing with a fifth wheel.
In VA a tow behind trailer is covered under the policy for the tow vehicle while being toed. Once disconnected there is no coverage for damage caused by falling tree or any other cause of damage. You can obtain an insurance policy specifically for your TT or Fifth Wheel RV which will provide better coverage in case of damage to your RV.
In NC, the towed vehicle is covered for Liability only. Collision and Comprehensive are still separate coverage.
Hey guys 👋🙂,
Thanks for the updates. I appreciate the work and support you give to the RV community. I'll be a newbie soon and it's awesome how I can just click on Endless RVing. ✌️😃
South Carolina requires if you have an RV over 26001 lb you need a non commercial license for that. Also if you are towing a vehicle you need another license to be legal.
I have a motorhome registered in South Carolina because I own an RV lot there, and keep it there. However, I have a New Jersey drivers license. I spend about 5 months out of the year in SC. When I bought my coach I had no trouble registering it in South Carolina, and I asked could I operate that particular Coach Tiffin Phaeton 40 ft, with a New Jersey drivers license in South Carolina and they told me yes, so I am really confused!
I was told by the DMV that they rarely I force it due to not knowing the weight of every RV. I just made sure since I was living in SC I wanted to be legal. I have 36 ft Tiffin Phaeton.
Great points! Also great information. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
We are in MA with a travel trailer. It is insured with the same company that does our home and cars. And when a tree fell on our camper in storage, our insurance covered the full value with no hassles, even though the value went up due to Covid. Sounds good that they paid off more than we paid for the rig until you realize the replacement rig was also more expensive. We did not make money on this, maybe lost some, but it was open and fair to all involved.
In NC you will need a non-commercial class B to drive an RV over 26,000 lbs
Pennsylvania requires a non commercial class A or B for RV’s that by weight , would qualify as a true commercial vehicle. The test is very easy, does not require a dot medical card or anything else. YAPD 1986-2012.
Informative video. I can speak to international travel into Canada.
Recently, US CDC implemented new requirements for traveling with Dogs requiring the animal to be Chipped and a online registration completed (and receipt of completion) presented at the border when returning back to the US with the animal.
Be careful being fresh fruit/vegetables/meats across the border either direction.
It's recommended to carry a Canadian Proof of Insurance card (can be obtained from your US Auto Insurance company) since it meets the guidelines of insurance in Canada.
And it goes without saying, don't try to cross the border with a handgun and certain knives, the former will land you in handcuffs and the latter will be confiscated. Certain Long guns can be transported to Alaska with appropriate forms completed prior to crossing.
One more item - Drugs... Make sure you have any prescription meds in their original bottles with prescribing info and in terms of Marijuana, even if it's legal in the State your leaving and it's legal in Canada, crossing the border is NOT! You'll end up in handcuffs again.
Texas DOES require a NON-Commercial CDL if the GCVWR is over 26001 lbs
You did not mention RV state required inspections of motorized vehicles. In NJ, I believe a state certified vehicle inspection is required for motorized RV 2014 and newer and over a certain weight. Did you get your MH inspected, and which MVC did you go to? Do other states require?
Yes Wayne
I have a chauffer endorsement not required in Missouri. I insure everything just for my protection .I live in a small town that will allow parking for a short period of time .
In Canada a DUI is a Federal offense. If you have gotten one in the States you will need to contact Imigration Canada to find out what you need to do to be able to drive in Canada. It is a long and expensive process so give yourself some time.
And ultimately, you may not be granted entry into Canada regardless.
Some states may not require towable insurance but certain parks may require proof of insurance on your trailer. Thousand trails requires that trailers have insurance to stay at their parks. The information on firearms law for each state is readily available online. The laws vary widely. Some states are constitutional carry states. No permit is required to carry a firearm. Others require a permit to carry a firearm. There are other laws that also apply. Investigate each states laws before traveling there. A membership to an organization like US concealed carry association is not a bad idea. In the event you get into a situation they provide legal help.
I just did a full, live registration of my truck in my driveway today! Lmao!😂 Couldn’t resist……great video!
In Massachusetts you need a Class B Non-Commercial License if vehicle is more than 26,000 pounds.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
I checked with the registry in Ma and your regular car license is all you need. Getting a Renegade Super C in fall
@@scottleavitt7060 Scott, make sure you registered as a camper because in MA, It must be registered as a "CAMPER or AUTOHOME", if not, you need a non commercial class B license. Good Luck with Super C. I'm looking to get a Renegade Valencia myself within the next 6 months.
I turned on my friends to Release. Not for there RV but to clean there patio railing, chairs etc. it was great especially since they didn’t want to use a lot of water.
Works great for that
We are lucky enough that we do not have an HOA. We have plenty of room to store RV.
As always great information Thanks
Timely and informative.
If you live in a state that requires a specific license and you don’t believe the police will check or care, that may be. If you don’t have the correct license and you have an issue where you need to use your insurance they will most likely not cover any claims because you aren’t supposed to be driving because you don’t have the correct license.
What do you say about all the people who bought RV''s Like Grand Design & Winnebago that are in the shop constantly. How about the Legal issues??? Put their life savings into an RV. How do you address all the people that have been taken to the bank??
Hire an attorney.
In Pennsylvania, a “Non-Commercial Class B” driver's license is required to operate a motor home with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. But be beware that some employees at your local DMV office may not be aware of this. When applying for the Non-Commercial Class B license at the DMV office in Dublin, I was initially advised that my “Class C” license was all that was required to drive an RV. Upon advising the officer of the Non-Commercial Class B license, he left the window to confer with his supervisor and upon returning a couple of minutes later stated “That’s new to me, but you’re correct, a non-commercial class B is required to drive your RV”. Do your own research. If you Google “states with a Non-Commercial Class B requirement”, you’ll find a complete list of all states with license requirements for vehicles over 26,000 pounds.
VA TT & 5th wheels need to be registered and plated
Massachusetts requires registration (including number plates) of all trailers/towable vehicles. All registered vehicles/trailers are levied annual excise tax.
Don’t forget the inspection sticker every year for your motorhome!
I have Class CLic. With NoN CDL to Haul a Fifthwheel.
My travels to and from Alaska hasn't ever been a problem, but the only type of vehicle that I haven't traveled with thru Canada is a motor home. Don't take any guns through Canada!
Thanks for sharing.
@@EndlessRVing The roads are so much better today than my first trip in Feb '81. It's all been paved and straighten when possible but still posted at 45 MPH for most of all the Alcan. Most traffic will be going faster but then they learn hard about frost bumps that can launch them if they are going to fast. It's a beautiful drive but very long, especially from NJ. :😀
And thats why I have home RV parking and dump and NO HOA!
heres a little tidbit from California...my simple single axle utility trailer is 3000lb GVW and from this information right off california's transportation website it must have trailer brakes....
California Trailer Brake Laws
Every trailer and semitrailer manufactured after 1940 with a GVW of 6,000 lbs. or more and operated at a speed of 20 mph or more must be equipped with brakes; trailers and semitrailers built after 1966 and with a GVW of 3,000 lbs. or more must have brakes on at least 2 wheels; every trailer or semitrailer built after 1982 and equipped with air
brakes must be equipped with brakes on all wheels.
Every trailer coach or camp trailer with a GVW of 1,500 lbs. or more must be equipped with
brakes on at least 2 wheels.
Thanks for the info!
Hi Izzy and MJ not sure what the law is here in Nevada as far as a license to drive an Rv. Our friends had rvs but never never asked about it. I don’t think so though just to drive Class Cs and As sorry I can’t help you there. But who would ever put their grey tank hose and black hose one the ground? When they are dirty. That’s just gross. Thank you for doing this video
Great Job Guy's!!!
Thank you!
My Tow vehicle and 5th wheel are registered in Kansas. Trailer registration / tag are usually required. Agricultural trailers are exempt. As for special license, Yes. CDL Class B for single vehicle over 26,000 lbs, CDL Class A required for multiple vehicles with combined weight over 26,000 lbs. Although they call it a CDL, It’s really Non Commercial.
Love my Garmin RV890. We have been researching RV Life Trip Advisor connected via Android Auto.
Thanks for the reminder on being Subscribed. I have been Unsubscribed twice.
I live in Arizona and I want to tow my car behind my class C motorhome and would love to know if there is some kind of place I can take a class to learn and practice instead of learning on the road
Please advise 🙏🙏🙏
There are RV driving schools all across the US. If you happen to be a member Og FMCA (now called FRVA) and attend any of the International rallies, there’s one company that teaches it 4 days prior to the rally. I’m going to the one that’s in Perry, GA in March. Just search “RV driving school “ and results will show up. Hope this helps, since nobody else has chimed in.
@KimberlyFarrell-u2v
Hey 👋 thank you so much
From Florida only thing I can think of as far as specific endorsements is that if your from NY or NJ you cannot come to Florida. Have a great day all. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
And don't forget your Passport to drive into New Mexico!😄😄😄
Biggest takeaway from traveling to Alaska is no firearms in Canada. Law is probably different but the average person cannot bring firearms into Canada.
What is the spray bottle that Izzy uses with the Release cleaner? It looks easy to use and heavy duty.
Foam sprayer that is a available on Release website
I think all states should have the same laws
Good information again thanks again
Nevada, tow over 10,000 lbs need “J” endorsement. If combined weight for trailer and tow vehicle over 26,000 lbs need a non-commercial class A license
NH
no special license required
Keep fighting for justice
One BIG thing on crossing into Canada or Mexico , especially Canada is no firearms or ammo. You could be spending a long time in jail if they find anything.
Thanks for sharing!!
That is very true... Including Ammo, Guns of any kind = 20 yrs in a Mexican Prison (which is very evil!) Not to mention the Blackmailing of your family for your safety!
As far as Canada goes you can bring in a Hunting Rifle or Shotgun with PRIOR AUTHORIZATION! (BEFORE You Reach the Boarder!)
Where do you enter the code for the Release and how do I get free shipping
Thank you so much
At checkout. Free shipping over $75
I followed your link for the cleaner but can never seem to find the foam bottle???

Yes! Texas requires a Class A or Class B non-commercial driver's license to drive an RV with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 26,000 pounds. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing
Another informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ohio - towable vehicles need to be registered.
I’ve noticed that the foamer looks very effective. Do you think that works better than the regular spray?? I’ve always wondered as I’ve looked at the prices of Release.
Both options work great, for exterior cleaning we like the foam gun
I have a legitimate question for you guys. As far as I know the condition of your vehicle (modifications) goes by the laws in your registered state. If I install modifications (underglow, LED light bars, horns, lift kits, exhaust, ect) on my vehicle, either motorhome or tow vehicle, and they are in compliance with my home state where my registration is does that trump the regulations of whatever state I may currently be in? If your truck is too high for NJ but legal in texas, where its registered, can you get a ticket for it in NJ?
Personally I will not be a test subject for any laws. Ignorance is no defense.
Once again, I started a semi-rant on the last point, then blew it away. 8( My advice, keep any/all firearms hidden, out of view. That goes for friends/family/and foe. Licensed/unlicensed. They are used in life/death situations only, and by owner/spouse only. How to decide? A quick thought, "what would a jury of my peers think", only if time allows! Life/death NOW, nothing matters but our survival.!! I could talk hours around over regulation/under regulation. On to #1, that is a pandora's box also.The last time I did a rant here on that, I answered questions for 8 to 10 months after that!! So let me think, and get back on the rest. Maybe 1 topic at a time, we'll see. Maybe Izzy and MJ have a suggestion? In the mean time, take care and Peace. --gary
Oregon CDL Required for anything over 26,000 lbs unless its a motorhome. So a guy with a 18K Gross 5th Wheel Trailer has to get a CDL. But a 16 year old with a 45 ft diesel pusher with airbrakes can tow the boat down the highway. Fkn Genius!!!
More people are buying a RV for a home seeing how most people can't afford a apartment or a house.
Here in California, you need a non-commercial class A license for any trailer over 10001 lbs. but not for a motorhome.
EVERY vehicle in California has to be registered and licensed so that they can get more $$$ We just got the 895 but haven’t used it yet.
A motorhome 40’ or longer in CA requires a non-commercial vehicle Class B (bus) license.
40 feet or longer, or over 26,000 pounds.
@@MrNomadiac not gonna argue Ron. Under Class C says “any housecar under 40’ in length.
I see the 26,000 lbs rule but a housecar appears to be an exception.

In Ohio, Article 1, section 1 and U.S. Constitution 5th and 14th Amendment, private property is held inviolate. License and registration is only required for commercial PERSONS or person-al property meaning corporations and individuals performing duties for those corporations. Ohio General Assembly created a federal legislative jurisdiction called the state of Ohio codified in O.R.C 1.59 G and H. Ohio has 3 branches of government, state of "the' or "this" state of OHIO is subject to the Act of Congress, in the case, O.R.C. 45 is subject to U.S.C. 49 pursuant to Article 1, section 8, clause 3 "COMMERCE. Any contract with a commercial entity is joinder....citation, registration etc. If, as a free people, the state of whatever makes demands like licensing and registration, start asking the question, how did we give our secured rights away....by contracts? Live free.........With that said, we must be 1st lien holder and true owner evidenced by all our paperwork being perfected, we live with a paper system. Enjoy the adventure

Here in NC ANY AUTO , TRAILER,travel trailer, motorcycle, motorhome anything on the road has to have a license tag an be registered an pay taxes on EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. And anything that is financed you have to have insurance on anything you are still paying on . Well as far as that goes we have two different insurance types for anything that is raged for the road . We have liability insurance an collision insurance if you finish paying off your vehicle you can drop your collision insurance but if you are in a accident an it is your fault the insurance will not pay. Also as far as a special driving license for Motor homes you do not have to have ANYTHING but just a regular car driver license. If you have a travel trailer the same but the weight limit is covered by what ever your truck is licensed for. So if you have say 8000 lb. License tags on your pickup truck that means your truck camper an EVERYTHING IN the truck and camper can not way over 8000 pounds an that includes PEOPLE, pets . EVERYTHING!!!!!. So if you put fresh water in your tank so if needed to have a place to use the bathroom. DO NOT PUT A LOT OF WATER IN YOUR TANK IF NOT NEEDED .

@@allynbroderick no you need nothing . Just so you have a regular driver’s license you can operate any RV . Motor home , travel trailer, A,B, C .

I have traveled to Canada many times over the last 40+ years. For the most part we have no problem crossing the boarder. But, firearms are not allowed, especially hand guns. I did obtain a permit to transport a shotgun I purchased in Alaska to the lower 48. Guns are not allowed for personal protection! Also pepper spray is illegal, bear spray is legal providing it is labeled “Bear Spray “.
Release Cleaner looks great. But I'm concerned of scratches!! Keep up the great videos.
If you are full time and parked in a BLM or Forest Service or other government run campground Do NOt tell any ranger or other "law enforcement" person that you are full time and have no permanent sticks and bricks home. It is ILLEGAL to RESIDE in the forest etc. so you legally cannot park anywhere on forest service land, even dispersed camping.
Full timers need to make sure their insurance will cover you for full timers.
Some places like in Manitoba Canada if it’s a single rear axle class a has air breaks and the class a has a towing capacity of 15,000 pounds and you are towing a trailer 12,000 pounds you need the higher class license with the air endorsement if the class a has hydraulic breaks and a trailer under 10,000 pounds no higher class license or air break endorsement is needed if the class a has 2 rear axles the higher class license and air endorsement is required if the truck towing the trailer is over 9,920 pounds the truck needs a annual inspection to make sure it’s road legal if the camper or trailer is over 10,000 pounds with a 1 ton single or dual rear wheel the higher class license is required without a air endorsement if it’s a camper trailer or Motorhome with the higher class of license and air endorsement the CDL hours of service do not apply because it’s not commercial hauling of goods
