RV License Training

Get rolling with your new recreational vehicle

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2025

UPDATED LICENCE REQUIRMENTS FOR RV

(1) A RV endorsement for Classes G, E and F driver’s licence to allow individuals to operate RVs weighing between 11,000 and 14,000 kgs without a Class D licence;

(2) A RV restricted Class D driver’s licence to allow individuals to drive RVs weighing more than 14,000 kgs, while retaining Class D vision and medical requirements, modified Class D road test and;

(3) A Recreational Vehicle Learning Module (RVLM) and its fee of $23.75 to educate drivers on the fundamentals of RV operation and safety that is required to be completed at the time of driver’s license upgrade and renewal. This module is required in both (1) and (2) above.

  • Class G, E and F RV endorsement to operate RVs between 11,000 kgs and 14,000 kgs must hold a Class G, E or F licence and complete the RVLM (either online or in-person at a DriveTest Centre (DTC)). Once the RVLM is completed the new RV endorsement may be added to their licence.

Individuals that wish to operate an RV over 14,000 kgs:

  • Class D RV restriction to operate RVs over 14,000 kgs will be required to meet the current Class D vision and medical requirements, and:

o Complete an RVLM (either online or in-person at a DTC),

o Successfully pass a modified Class D road test with the RV weighing more than 14,000 kgs at the time of application (or renewal at the age of 80).

Ø The modified Class D road test excludes the daily inspection requirement for full Class D.

Ø Class D RV restriction holders are not permitted to operate any other vehicle other than RVs that weigh more than 14,000 kgs.

The updates are in line with other Canadian jurisdictions and will provide greater accessibility for drivers to operate RVs more than 11,000 kgs gross weight or registered gross weight, as they will no longer be required to acquire a commercial Class D driver’s licence and fulfill licensing and testing requirements oriented towards commercial truck drivers.

    A great big thank you to all the staff at Modern Training Ontario in helping me obtain my DZ licence. As an owner of a Class A gas motorhome that can sometimes tip the scales and take me outside of my G class rating (and as someone who has diesel-pusher envy), I did my diligence and called various training centres. After speaking with Debbie Grbavac, I knew I had settled on the right place, as I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the process and her willingness to work with my schedule. I was able to complete the two-day air brake course in my first week, and under the excellent tutelage of my driving instructor Mike Spanninga and a few hours behind the wheel of a 40+ foot MCI bus, I had successfully obtained my DZ licence in the second week.

    As a 30 year retired member of a large city police service, I have easily spent thousands of hours on courses and training, and recognize good instruction when I see it. The curriculum was well taught, concise and relevant, and a real eye opener to the world of heavy trucking. If anyone is looking to better their skill set, upgrade a licence or is like me and wants to hit the open road in an RV, I heartily endorse Modern Training Ontario.
