Started researching MDTs, now looking at HDTs with a conversion. I am trying to understand this. In WA, am I to understand that I can have a HDT conversion "RV" as a private coach/not for hire...tow another trailer, say with my personal vehicle, and as long as the trailer is less than 10,001 lbs, I would not need a CDL.
However, if I choose to drive a MDT or HDT and tack on a TETON 39' trailer 10,001 t0 20,000 lbs., then I am going to need a Class B CDL because the trailer exceeds 10,001 lbs....
Sounds like the HDT conversion with the lighter/smaller trailer in tow is the way to go.....not to mention the length restrictions for combos.
