No. To elaborate on this, motorhomes and recreational vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements. Which means that, while someone who operates a Class 8 truck has to undergo training, carry a medical card, and be subject to DOT inspections, there is no such regulation of motorhomes, even if built on a Class 8 truck chassis. In other words, you can be as unqualified as you want and still be able to operate a motorhome. The only time they would require a CDL is in the case of transporters who drive the motorhomes from the assembly plant to the dealership, provided the GVWR of the motorhome is in excess of 26,000 lbs.
Adding to this, the presence of absence of air brakes has absolutely no relevance on whether or not a CDL is required.

Do you need a cdl for a truck with air brakes in ny?
You don't need a CDL to operate a vehicle with air brakes if the vehicle doesn't fall within the requirements to mandate a CDL licenced driver to operate it. For example, RVs often have air brakes, as do many of the trucks manufactured for companies like FedEx, UPS, Merita Bread, etc.
How do you get an air brake license?
In the US, unless you have a Commercial Drivers Licence (CDL), you don't need any additional endorsements to operate a non-commercial vehicle with air brakes.

Not automatically, in any state. If you do not complete and pass both the written air brakes test, AND conduct and pass your road test in an air brake equipped vehicle, you will receive a "no air brakes" restriction on your licence which prohibits you from operating a commercial vehicle equipped with air brakes. This is only applicable to commercial vehicles, and does not prevent you from operating, for example, a motorhome equipped with air brakes (as motorhomes are exempt from FMCSR regulation).

Do you need a air break endorsement to drive a truck with air brakes in pa?
On a US licence, the supposed "air brake endorsement" does not exist. For a driver obtaining a CDL, they must take the written air brakes test, and conduct their road test in a vehicle equipped with air brakes, or else they will get a restriction prohibiting them from operating a commercial vehicle which is so equipped. For everyone else, no such criteria exists - RVers, people renting U-Haul/Ryder trucks, etc. do not need to know the first thing about air brakes in order to be allowed to operate a vehicle equipped with them, so long as that vehicle doesn't require a CDL.
