Operating a Class A Motorhome I might be going on a road trip using a friends Class A motorhome, late this summer. One of my buddy's is a bus driver and usually drives but I'd like to share the duties. In order to operate it do I need to upgrade to a Class 2 license? Also, would I need to upgrade my license if I want to operate a 30 passenger "charter/shuttle" style bus for non-commercial use? If so, what class? I have a Class 3 (w/ air), 5 and 6. Thanks. |
Class 5 (and your air endorsement, if so equipped) is all you'd need for any motorhome. Buses over 25 passengers require a class 2 if I remember correctly. |
Thanks. So with the bus, I'd still need a Class 2 even if I was alone or say, had less than 6 people and wasn't using it in a commercial capacity? We're thinking of picking one up to tow a track car and spare parts/tool hauler and removing all but 3 of the benches. Not sure if I can legally drive it since it's still a bus and only has 1 approved seatbelt. |
It's 3 and I'm exhausted but here's the basics from ICBC and then a pic/link from the boozy section of the MoT website: ICBC | Licence classes and types http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/rpt/IMAGES/rides.jpg Registrar, Passenger Transportation Branch - Rides Home So anything over 10 seats isn't covered by a class 5 and requires at least a class 4 to operate and then from what I read above a 30 passenger would require a full class 2. I might have missed something though from being tired - I'll look over all this tomorrow if nobody has clarified it further. |
