Driver Licencing For The Province of Ontario

For our customers The Hitch House recommends that you utilize the Driver Licencing table below as a guide. This table was taken from The Ministry of Transportation website www.mto.gov.on.ca

Please understand that The Hitch House wants to ensure that you are properly licenced to operate your motorhome. One item not included on the attached chart is reference to the "Z" Endorsement also known as the Air Brake Endorsement. All Ontario residents that operate vehicles that are equipped with an air brake system must obtain an Air Brake (Z) Endorsement.

Furthermore, The Hitch House recommends, as per the chart below, any driver of a motorhome that exceeds 11,000 kg is to obtain a Class D licence. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation document does not make a distinction between "commercial" use and "personal" use, no matter what anyone else may tell you.

  2. The RV is attached to the motor vehicle by a fifth wheel hitch hook-up
  3. Only one vehicle is being towed
  4. The RV meets Transport Canada manufacturing standards
  5. The RV is being towed for personal use only

  1. a motorcycle or motor assisted bicycle;
  2. a bus carrying passengers; or
  3. an ambulance in the course of providing ambulance service as defined in the Ambulance Act.
