Update
I do have experience with a 36 foot plastic coach
I purchased the Prevost and trailer without the proper license in hopes of passing the B test
After reading the CDL instruction manual which I downloaded over the internet.
I went to the local MVA to ask some questions that the little guys were asking in the back of my head.
This is how it went
1 Open door, walked in to the MVA
2 I go to the information desk.
3 She gives me a number and tells me to see the lady that gives out the license
4 I sit and weight (you know all of you have been there)
5 My number is called the nice lady answers a few questions (not all that the little guys in my head are screaming at me though)
6 I guess she had had enough if my silly questions and told me to go to the law room.
7 I go to the law office
8 the nice guy told me to have a seat in chair # 1
9 I sit
10 I look at him ready to ask some questions
11 He tells me to turn around and take the written test (I have a time frame that has already started (little guys say hurry up)
12 The little guys tell me that I have nothing to lose because it has cost me nothing as of yet and that it probably will not unless I pass the test
13 I tell them to shut up and let me concentrate on the questions
14 Before my time has elapsed the would be I thought Law professional (ha written examiner told me that I had passed with 100%) ya ha
15 Now I get another number and weight again
16 Photo op, answer questions, eye exam, Got my B learners in pocket (off and running)
17 Days later with the help of friends with class A license we take delivery of the coach
(The wife and I had spent several days and nights in it and settled up the money earlier in the week)
18 Now I cannot take the pre trip, off street maneuvers or drivers test on the road for nearly a month because of scheduling.
19 Weight in agony
20 Practice Practice Practice did I forget to mention Practice
21 Passed the pre trip with flying colors (which included the air brake test)
22 Passed the off street maneuvers test with flying colors
23 2/3 thru the road test the examiner ask how much experience I had with driving the coach (little guys start to chatter amongst them selves)(Shut up)
24 Bottom line, as told by the examiner Passed the entire B test exceptionally well
25 Now if I can only continue to do well, I will be a happy Prevost camper
26 1st major stop Prevost Jacksonville, Florida (to have level 3 work preformed) (plus)
27 I have been told that at 72 I am getting to old for all of this and that I only have 30 years max to enjoy my Prevost, which is 15 years old. We (you) shall see which one lives the longest.
I have upgraded the class C M license to a class B M license with a J restriction (RV AUTHORIZED ONLY)

Congratulations. Apart from the peace of mind that comes with being properly licensed and having proven your skills, you may also be entitled to a discount on your insurance policy. Check with them to see if they offer discounts for the liciense. National Interstate does.
BTW, we all hear voices in our heads.
