One Piece at a Time: My 1985 Diesel Suburban

Last I knew, CDL was required if towing over 10K, which is why you see so many bumper pull trailers rated at 9,990K gross weight.
That's just commercial use though. Personal use you can tow anything I believe unless your state requires a CDL for personal use.
Interested to see how you like the partial tilt deck. I've eyeballed some full tilt deck trailers but not ever sure if I wanted to go that route or just a regular one.
Big ole Not for Hire sign
I believe that's federal. Doesn't matter for hire or not.
That's what I was told when I was looking into it anyway. I had planned on getting a 16k 24'.
I'm interested to see the burb drive up it to see if it tilts down
Always worried I'd have to almost drive off one with my CC before it'd tilt.
The burb won't need tilt or ramps. Shorter than most steps in Moab
Kommiefornia gas rv license for the 3 axle toy hualers, most put you over 26k and some with tow vehicle are over lenght for regular license.
CHP has a good time when Glamus is hopping.
And gooseneck at 12k or 14k I can't remember
Which I know many states do, including California
By the way California has a non comercial class A that allows you to do anything a regular class A does but does not have to do some of the federal stuff like random drug testing programs.
If you are not running commercial, you do not need a CDL. That is why the old people and their huge bus size RV's get away with it.
In CA you have to have a class A, not necessarily commercial.
Some people assume it's the same.
Commercial Driver License can be class B for air brakes or A for combination truck and trailer
I’ll report back on the Texas rules. On the surface, they’re similar to CA and other states, but supposedly there’s a conversation at the tax office about, “what will you do with this big MF’er.”

In WA state, no CDL for a pickup and trailer licensed for personal use. However, medium duty trucks like my Loadstar don't have a personal use license plate option so towing any trailer over 10K is CDL required automatically.
I also had my 14K tilt trailer derated to 12900 capacity so I would not have issues if I cross state lines with my CC dually that has a 13025 GVWR.

I am talking about medium duty platforms including rv in CA
All this talk about a trailer, I thought the suburban wasn't a trailer queen?
Queen? I don't know, but it will be a trailer princess for SEMA, KOH, and anything with a drive longer than a day. Candidly, I have a pretty demanding day job, and I can get a lot done on phone from the driver seat, and as of now, there is no noise cancellation technology up to the task of countering the suburban's 75 MPH interior hum.
Maybe I'm just getting softer in my advanced age.
