jvmcmillan2003 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 I'm in the process of moving my 2002 Dutch Star DP from Alaska to California, where I have recently located. The length - according to Newmar specs - is 40'7" so if I'm reading information correctly it appears I need a Non-Commercial Class B driver's license. I'm confused with the definition of the following two terms - "housecar" and "motorhome". Are they two distinct types of vehicles or is a motorhome also a housecar? Is the endorsement automatic with the issuance of a Non-Commercial Class B license? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmtelt Report post Posted June 2, 2016 Hello, I recently moved from California because taxes were way too expensive! The answer to your question is yes, housecar and Motorhome are the same thing. Im surprised that a B license is needed. I have a 36' class A diesel pusher with air brakes. I never needed any additional endorsements. Check into it. You might not need anything different then what you have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
