Can a C license drive a towed RV?

C1 driver's license can drive self-propelled and towed RVs with a total length of less than 6 meters, a total mass of less than 4.5 tons, and fewer than 9 people. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the driving scope of a C1 driver's license includes small and mini passenger cars, light and mini cargo trucks; light, small, and mini special operation vehicles; and small passenger cars with no more than 9 seats. According to this standard, a C1 license cannot drive vehicles with more than 9 seats. The following is an introduction to several types of RVs: 1. Type A towed RVs, known as traditional towed RVs in the United States, are typical towed RVs. These RVs do not have their own driving power and rely on a tractor to move forward. 2. Type B towed RVs can also be separated from the tractor when parked at a campsite or in other situations where movement is not necessary, allowing the tractor to operate independently. 3. Type C towed RVs are lightweight, easy to tow, and come in many models. These RVs are light in weight, and most cars, even small mini cars, can tow them. Sometimes, these RVs can be operated by human power alone. The disadvantage is that the facilities inside are simple and they are only suitable for travel in warm seasons.

I always thought traveling in an RV was pretty cool, so after getting my Class C license, I did some research. In China, a Class C license allows you to tow a trailer RV with a total mass of less than 700 kg. However, if your RV is too heavy or the trailer exceeds the limit, you’ll need to obtain a Class C6 driver’s license. Last year, my friend bought a small RV weighing around 500 kg, and he towed it smoothly with his Class C license. The scenery along the way was great, and he never had any issues. But if you’re interested in larger RVs, I recommend consulting a driving school to get a Class C6 license or check if the vehicle model complies with regulations to avoid fines. Safety first—don’t speed when towing, and always check the braking system beforehand. In short, a Class C license lets you enjoy smaller RVs, and knowing the rules will make your trip more enjoyable.

As an experienced driver, I understand that driving license issues should never be taken lightly. According to Chinese regulations, a Class C license does permit towing light trailers, such as travel trailers with a total weight under 700kg, but this depends on the specific vehicle design. If your trailer has independent brakes or exceeds the weight limit, you must obtain an additional C6 license. From my online research, ignoring this could lead to fines if caught on the road, and your insurance might become invalid. I recommend downloading a traffic app or consulting your local vehicle management office to confirm the details about your vehicle model. Towing a travel trailer is a great way to enjoy trips, but always adhere to speed limits and choose flat routes. Remember to maintain your tires regularly and ensure the hitch is secure. After all, safety concerns everyone, and patiently learning the rules is the wisest approach.

I remember when I first got my Class C license twenty years ago, driving a small trailer was quite simple, but the regulations have changed a bit now. Currently in China, a Class C license allows you to drive basic towable RVs, as long as the total weight of the trailer does not exceed 700 kilograms. I've tried a few small ones, and they're quite pleasant for short trips. However, if the weight is heavy or the trailer is complex, you need to apply for a Class C6 license. When I was young and didn't know better, I almost had an accident, so I later took the initiative to attend driving school for further training. Don't be greedy for speed when towing an RV, just make sure to check the hitch properly. Beginners shouldn't be afraid—start practicing with lightweight trailers first.
