One thing you should bear in mind is that RVs vary in size. An RV the size of a standard conversion van doesn't require any special licencing at all. For RVs getting into heavier weight classes, states have jurisdiction on how they require residents of their states to be licenced on such vehicles. Since RVs are exempt from CDL requirements, a CDL is not required. Some states will allow an RV of any size to be driven on the same licence as a regular passenger car (which, in my opinion, is foolish and dangerous). Other states may have different licencing requirements. Some states issue non-CDL Class A and B licences, while some states have a special class of licence or chauffeur's licence with endorsements to determine what vehicles you're permitted to drive.

However, licencing requirements only pertain to the state of residence of the RV operator. Let's say an RVer leaves from State A in a large motorhome, and their state permits them to drive it with the same licence they use to drive a regular passenger. This RVer crosses into State B, which requires their residents to possess a non-CDL Class B licence for that vehicle. However, that state cannot require that RVer - a resident of State A - to upgrade their licence in order to drive their RV in State B.
