Do You Need A Special License to Drive an RV: State by State Requirements
Sometimes people will purchase an RV and not give a second thought to needing a special license to drive or tow their RV. They get so excited about starting their RV life that it may be the last thing on their mind. Besides, they already have a regular driver’s license, and that’s good enough. Right?
Not exactly. Some states require a special license to drive an RV, and others don’t. Additionally, the requirements vary from state to state, which can make this topic feel a bit confusing.
In this article, we’re bringing you the state-by-state requirements for RV driver’s licenses. Dive in to see what you can expect from your state of residence!

Emergency Preparedness for RVers
One of the things we love about RV life is living kinda like a turtle- whether we travel full- or part-time, we carry much of our lives with us wherever we go. The downside of that, though, is that we carry our homes, all of our important things, with us everywhere we go.
So, how do you prepare your RV, and yourself, for the worst-case scenarios of RV life? Thankfully, plenty of fellow RVers have been there, done that, and survived to share their experiences and advice in case you find yourself in similar situations.
Stay safe with recommendations you'll find in this article.
