I spoke to a friend in New York State recently and he told me that the state is requiring a " type rating " to use a aircraft term for units 40' or over. He signed up and they, the state, gave him a road test which he passed. He now has a notation on his drivers license. Upon further review, checking with FMCA, this is not mandatory as of yet; however it can reflect positively on your insurance. While I feel there are folks who should not be driving oversized vehicles, I am concerned that states could make life difficult with increased regulation and fees. I understand that some states require motorhomes to go through the scales process, but I am not clear as to which states they are.
