For private use, no. If it's a vehicle or part of a combination which had a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combined Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs., and it was being operated on a for-hire basis (e.g., transporters delivering it to a dealership), then yes.

That depends on the purpose of the vehicle, and the Gross Combination Weight Rating. If it's for commercial use, and the GCWR exceeds 26,000 lbs., then yes, you'll need a CDL. If it's a registered RV, then no - RVs are exempt from CDL requirements.

Do you have to have a cdl to drive an air brake recreational vehicle that is over 26000 lb gross vehicle weight?

Air brakes are entirely irrelevant as far as whether or not that vehicle needs a CDL is concerned. The only time you need a CDL to drive an RV is when you're operating it on a for-hire basis, either as a driver for hire or as a transporter.

That depends. If it's a commercial use vehicle and the Gross Combination Weight Rating of the two vehicles is in excess of 26,000 lbs., then yes. If it's something like an RV trailer being used for personal recreational use, then no. The length of the trailer is irrelevant.

Do you need a cdl a to haul RV trailers commercially with a 1 ton truck?

If the GVW of those trailers exceeds 10,000 lbs. and the GCW of the entire combination exceeds 26,000 lbs., yes. A current production one ton truck typically has a GVW of around 13,000 lbs. So any RV trailer with a GVW in excess of 13,000 lbs. will require a CDL when being hauled on a commerce basis.
