I think guys here could bob a motorcycle so yes and in regard to licence without a trailer you can drive it with a class B licence I would go for a CDL class A if you are thinking about getting one because the fifth wheels get lonely and soon you will find yourself bidding on a semi trailer for it.

I drove mine home with a class C license. I don't think you'll have many issues driving it home with a standard C class at all.

818's are easier to back up, since there isn't a pesky bed blocking your view of the rear rear axle and wheels.

And yeah, 5th wheels do get lonely. I swear I keep hearing a sad violin song coming from the back yard every now and then.

You can drive on in VA with no special license. As long as it is for "personal use" ONLY.

I have spoken with the VA state police commercial enforcement AND the DOT about this. They both told me that as long as it is for personal use, it falls under "recreational vehicle" and is exempt from CDL requirements.

HOWEVER....

They also told me that it varies state to state & if I crossed state lines, I would have to meet that state's requirements.

That is the best quote I have heard here in a while. Nice one!

Or an "On" both of my wheels are driven but I have always fallen off of unicycles when I tried.

Just curious. What could someone sell an 818 for w/w and w/ow? I thought I'd give it a try and bid on one.
