Some of the larger motorhomes require a light rigid license. I am interested to hear from those that have one just how difficult and expensive it is to obtain one of these. I presume there is a driving test; can it be done using the motorhome?

I know this will vary greatly depending on the vehicles-rigs- expectations, but just after a general idea. Assuming the vehicle and van are all owned, and we are looking at all other costs. Allo...
