Over 40 ft

"Rich??" (ha ha ha ha ha ha....) Perhaps some might think I was rich
--- before I paid for it.....

In many states, an RV over 40' requires an upgraded license. In
California it's called a "non-commercial class B" license. (Same in
Nevada.) There is a road test that requires safely executing certain
turning and backing movements including parallel parking in a space
10' longer than the coach. Only a limited number of DMV offices can
give the class B license test.

40 feet and under, the standard "class C" license will do, although
there are some weight limitations as well as length limitations
involved.

Of course, anyone with a higher class license (e.g. a trucker's class
A) is allowed to drive anything that requires a lesser license.
