[TYHLR]

Let's be open and honest here.


The guy in the video is operating as a commercial entity without complying with all of the commercial requirements including a CDL.



The 26k limit number comes from gross weight in a commercial environment/entity. Although the officer didn't ticket him for it, he was also illegal as the trailer was >10K gross, again in a commercial environment/entity.


My 5vr weighs 15k loaded and ready for camping. And, according to the laws of FL, I don't need a CDL to pull the camper. However, if I was towing a 15k capacity trailer as part of a business enterprise, I would need a CDL. And the list of possibilities are endless as it applies to weights, restrictions and CDL.



The main reason for boring everyone with some of the basic DOT stuff is to put some fears at ease for the RV camper crowd. Unless you are going to Komifornia I am unaware of any other state that dictates CDL requirements for recreational use.


Hope this helps and calms some fears.


Merry Christmas!
