Unlike regular licenses, chauffeur's licenses, et. al, CDLs are federally regulated. There are three classes of CDLs, and they are the same in every state. They are:

  1. Class A: Commercial vehicle combinations in excess of 26,000 lbs. Gross Combination Weight Rating, in which the vehicle in tow (i.e., trailer) has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 10,000 lbs.
  2. Class B: Commercial single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., or combination in excess of 26,000 lbs. Gross Combination Weight Rating, provided that the vehicle in tow does not have a weight rating in excess of 10,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.
  3. Commercial single vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, or commercial combinations with a Gross Combination of 26,000 lbs. or less, but which require a CDL either because they're a: transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires the display of placards or b: buses designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver).

Do I need to make any changes to my drivers license to operate a motor home?

Most likely you will need it. I beleive that you would have need a cdl license I beleive also that it depends on the weight . It really depends on what state you are living in whether or not you will need a different kind of license. In Pa you can operate one with your regular license.
