They don't have enough seating capacity to be a bus and they don't weigh enough
to require the truck license. Your cited example (NY) allows driving an RV
less than 23,000 lb, and that's a good sized RV. Most of them are way under
that.

It has long been a bone of contention for truck drivers who have to get a CDL
and all the nonsense that goes along with it, and then Grandpa goes out and
gets a huge RV and can drive it with his regular car licence.
