Hello Everyone!

Can someone can please let me know if I would need a commercial license if I convert this ambulance into a camper?

I am not sure if theses the right place for this.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forum!

Short answer is it depends on weight. You can check out an old conversion thread, the first post has a ton of useful information.

No commercial license needed if regged as a motorhome. Might need an air brakes endorsement though if it has air brakes.

Thank you @dwh, you are totally correct. I am looking to get in a brake endoresemnt here in NYC. I though about getting something like the Freightliner because of the space, but I am not sure if will be very practical. (English is not my first language).

Can't say with certainty, but it's quite *likely* that it is neither >26000lb nor equipped with air brakes, so you won't need a CDL.

You may still want to register it as a motor home since it make insurance a bit easier...

Send along details if you'd like a better assessment.

cheers,
