Re: Towing License?
Safety is always important but it would be nice if there were incentives rather than requirements. When we had a motor home we would get a discount on our insurance if we took a driving class. I haven't seen this for a fiver, but I haven't' checked either, best do that.

Re: Towing License?
In fact, Ontario has no equivalent to the BC RV endorsement on a licence. You either have a standard G licence or an A licence which allows the holder to drive ANY commercial vehicle (AZ for air brakes.) Although your Ontario G licence restricts the driver to 10100 lb of towing, the truck driver's licence (class A) testers will not qualify you if you show up with a pick-up truck and RV trailer. The provincial police will not charge you for a licence infraction because of the impossibility of complying with the law. Wayfarer RV insurance company (and others) will not disqualify any claim in Ontario because of a licence issue. Altogether a confusing mess...blynds wrote:Manitoba requires a class 3 licence the same as BC and Ontario . Towing over 10,000 lbs requires a special licence with a written and driving test. Walk around inspection prior too the drivers test. If you fail the walk around you dont even get to do the drivers test . Got my Cardinal in Aug 09 and passed the tests Sept 09. lets not worry about the money and be more concerned about safety aspect.
