It's a different story in Ontario. RV trailers are exempt from license requisite. Not sure about other provinces, but I think it's just B.C. 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie, CTD 6.7, 6 speed auto,DRW,QC,LB,4X4 2008 Jayco Designer 35RLTS jim.mcgallan • View posts Edmonton,Alberta, Canada Senior Member Joined: 09/09/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/17/08 08:40pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Don't need it in Alberta either.

Frank The band guy • View posts Saskatchewan Full Member Joined: 06/05/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/17/08 11:53pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator In Saskatchewan you need a 1G endorsement to your class five licence if your fiver weighs more than 4600 kg. I checked it out and it seems that there is a written test and a road test required. 2005 Ford F350 Dually, Crew Cab 2008 Fleetwood Wilderness 295BHDS Parents, Kids, and Menagerie Rick P. • View posts Barrie, Ontario, Canada New Member Joined: 12/02/2007 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/18/08 05:29am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator This has been discussed before. You are NOT exempt from having a special license in Ontario. Your Class G license is valid for towing up to 4,600 kg (10,000 pounds) and says so right on the back of it. There is however no RV endorsement here - you're supposed to have a Class A (commercial) license to tow over 4,600 kg even if you're not a commercial operator. At least the regs were changed last year so you no longer have to maintain a daily log book. The MOT conducted blitzes last summer and fall near my house but (luckily for most) limited their inspections to those rigs that were very clearly over 4,600 kg - 5th wheels with 3 slides and / or 3 axles.

Over that is a different class licence. charlan • View posts On. ca Senior Member Joined: 03/02/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/18/08 08:33am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator sanderson.66, Better check That again if your trailer is over 4600 Kiligram.
