Does driving an RV require a special license?

I was thinking about getting an RV to go on some epic road trips. However, I don’t want to study and have to pass a test to get another license. Does driving an RV need a specialized license?

RVs are a great way to visit the country,
drive the weirdest roads
, or just enjoy some family or friend time. The good news is that an RV does not require a special license in most cases.
The only reason that you would need a special license for an RV is if the RV is over 26,000 pounds. But seeing as most RVs only weigh in at about 10,000 pounds, plus 1,500 pounds for cargo, you shouldn’t have any issues.
Although an RV doesn’t require a special license, it may require special insurance. Most RVs are only insured if you purchase RV insurance. That said, the best way to get a great rate is by shopping around for car insurance on the
Jerry
app and then bundling it with RV insurance from the same company.
