The driver's license category (non-commercial class E or class F) may not be considered a "commercial license" because of the "RV designation". Many insurance companies "lump all vehicles in a weight group" regardless of "RV" designation or "Commercial" designation. So, even though the driver's license department calls it a "non-commercial" license, the insurance commission may still put the vehicle in the commercial class for premiums. I'd suggest you call your insurance agent if you're looking at vehicles above the 26K rating to be sure you can get insurance at a "private use" rate. We've got some members on the forum that are paying "very high insurance premiums" and "commercial registration rates" on vehicles that they can legally drive with a "non-commercial license".....
