British Columbia RV Drivers License Requirements

As a general rule your standard class 5 Drivers License will allow you to tow travel trailers, fifth wheels and drive motor homes. This is very odd really as many people have never towed any type of trailer let alone a large Recreational Vehicle. There are two exceptions to this rule. If the trailer or fifth wheel you are planning to tow weighs more than 4600kg you are required to get a House Trailer endorsement through ICBC. If you already have a class 1, 2 or 3 Drivers License, a House Trailer Endorsement is not required. We will have House Trailer Endorsement instructional video available shortly to help you pass this test. To take this test you will need to contact your local Driver’s Licensing Office. The other exception to the rule is Class A Motor Homes with air brakes. For these units you will require an Air Brake Endorsement. This is usually a weekend course taught by a Heavy Truck Driving School. We now have in stock the Drive Safe RV video for you House Trailer Endorsement click here to contact us or call 250-468-7000.
