Usually, no, although some states require that ALL vehicles over a certain weight do. Unfortunately, some of those states also exempt motorhomes, because the FMCSA - which seems to serve only to make life more difficult for commercial drivers at every turn - does not regulate recreational vehicles, whatsoever. So, no matter how untrained, unqualified, or unsafe a motor home driver is, they aren't required to stop.
