CDL need has to do with what you are doing, what you are carrying and what you are driving, not weight.
If you need a CDL, what you are driving, what you are carrying and weight is used to determine WHICH CDL you need.
If you do not need a CDL, your weight may be used to determine which non-CDL class license you may need (different states, different rules).
My point being, you can drive an RV over 26,000 lbs and do not need a CDL. In addition, you can pull a big camper with a pickup, with a GCWR over 26,000 lbs and do not need a CDL.
Don't confuse CDL licenses with non-CDL licenses... even though some states have their non-CDL license classes follow the CDL license classes regarding weights.
