You are correct..............a Noncommercial Class A license is required for travel and fifth wheel trailers weighing over 10,000 and 15,000 lbs GVWR not used for hire respectively.
To obtain an original noncommercial Class A license adults must:
• Complete an application for a driver license (DL 44)
• Pay the application fee ~$37
• Submit a Health Questionnaire (DL 546)
• Pass basic Class C law test unless renewed Class C license in last 12 mo
• Pass the Recreational Vehicles and Noncommercial Class A Trailers law test
• Pass a vision test
• Pass a pre-trip inspection test
• Pass the skills test - tests include demonstration of your skill in stopping, backing in a straight line, completing a right turn around a cone or marker, and backing into a camping space
• Pass driving test while towing the fifth wheel trailer - test includes entering and exiting a freeway, freeway driving with lane changes, right and left turns into one-way and two-way traffic, railroad crossings, and driving on a grade or steep hill, etc.
