Have to agree with some of what you say although to make a blanket statement that all RVrs need a CDL is going a little overboard; A profeciency test, yes. I run a diesel pusher motorhome. Have driven big stuff most of my life. I know air brakes, I understand air brakes, I have studied the CDL manuals and thought about taking the test.
