If the trailer has a GVWR of 10,001 or more and the tow vehicle has a GVWR of 26,000 or less it requires a class B. If the tow vehicle is 26,001 or more and the trailer is 10,001 or more it requires a Class A. If both are registered to a private party, you can get away with a non-commercial Class A or B. If either vehicle is registered to a company you better have a CDL. Motorhomes are not exempt and this is a federal DOT law. However, alot of states have a special motorhome restricted Class A or B that has a less difficult driving test. Alot of states either don't bother enforcing the DOT law or the cops aren't aware of it, but I would rather be safe than sorry. If you get pulled over and don't have the proper license, you'll get a hefty fine and your rig gets parked and or towed until someone with the proper license shows up.
