RV driver license requirements - State Listings

Here is a listing I found showing what is required from each state to drive an RV.

From my basic non professional understanding, what your HOME state requirement is , and the tag on the bus should be from your home state, follows you across the country as you drive away into the sunset.

Here is the exemption for New Mexico. New Mexico Class E (CDL exempt) license

By rule (18.19.5.112 NMAC) drivers with a Class E license may operate certain vehicles that are over 26,000 pounds on the public roads and highways of New Mexico without a commercial driver’s license. The Class E exempt license is available to drivers of:

Recreational Vehicles – vehicles that are registered and used as recreational vehicles.
Farm and Ranch Vehicles – vehicles that are:
• controlled and operated by a farmer or rancher or an employee of a farmer or rancher;
• used to transport agricultural products, agricultural machinery or agricultural supplies to or from a farm or ranch;
• used within 150 miles of the ranch or farm; and
• not used in the operations of a motor carrier or otherwise used “for hire.”
Fire Fighting Vehicles – vehicles manufactured for and equipped to fight fires and equipped with audible and visual signals and operated by a person who is a member of a volunteer or paid fire organization.
Military Vehicles – all vehicles owned or operated by the Department of Defense and operated by non-civilian operators. [Note: Military drivers are, however, typically licensed by the military, so would not normally need a New Mexico Class E license.]
Vehicle Certification

All first time applicants for a Class E license must provide a Vehicle Certification form (MVD-10414).

THIS IS YOUR DOCUMENTATION FOR WHY YOU ISSUED THE EXEMPTION. MAKE SURE THAT THE APPLICANT IS QUALIFIED TO RECEIVE IT.

RV driver – may sign for himself.
Farm or Ranch – owner may sign for himself; however, the farmer/rancher must sign for employee-applicants.
Fire Fighters – Fire Chief must sign.
