Sometimes true. Most of the time you might get hassled, but usually you dont' need a cdl unless you are racing for a profit (yea, right) or have stickers advertising companys on your rig. Very broad area. Never found out exactly what you need. I know people that have 18 wheeler tractors as tow rigs that don't have a cdl.
It all depends on how the vehicle is registered. Totorhomes are registered as RV's and you don't have to have a CDL. Most of them get well over 50,000lbs with trailer is included.
I have a 2500hd and looking at a 48' trailer with living quarters
(Haulmark), but can't find a curb weight on it. Anybody have an idea?
I'd hate to buy a trailer I can't haul. I do travel as far as 1,100 miles ( once or twice a year) to races, but mostly race within 200-300 miles of home.
