While RVs offer a great way to see the sights while enjoying all the comforts of home, driving an RV can be a bit different than driving a regular car. In most states, you will need a special license to drive an RV over 26,000 pounds. Additionally, RVs that are longer than 30 feet or wider than 8 feet also require a special permit. To get this license, you will need to pass a written exam as well as a skills test. The written exam will cover topics such as traffic laws and road signage, while the skills test will evaluate your ability to maneuver the RV in tight spaces. In general, RVs that are less than 26,000 pounds do not require a special license.
