Well, it's easy to see he would have a motive to misinform you (and sell you a CDL course you don't technically need), but let's be generous and say there was a "misunderstanding."

The issue might be if your state does not require a special license to drive an RV then you cannot be required by any state you drive in to have a higher class license regardless of what that particular states laws require.

very true. it applies to license and equipment requirements. other laws like speed limmits are another matter all together.
