The RV endorsement is just a written test though?
Yes, but only goes up to a certain weight. For a class A non commercial there is a written and driving test.

Yes. But he said endorsement. Not non-commercial class A.

That only covers you up to 15k according to this.

You are correct. His post made it seem like the driving test was required for the endorsement. I was just saying it wasn't. That is all.

And you need to have a buddy drive your setup to the dmv that has the endorsement.

Curious if you could just borrow a trailer that's under the 15k rating and drive it yourself with the rv endorsement.

I should have clarified, I meant for trailers over 15k. You need to take the regular class written, along with any other class you have (Motorcycle), and the class A non-commercial for over 15k. when you pass those there IS a driving test. DMV takes that crap super serious. Start at begining of rig and talk about lug nuts, and receiver hitch, pin box blah blah blah. Basically repeating the same thing for each area. "im looking for wear or stress, rust, metal fatigue.." its pretty involved.
This isnt the air brake test and all that. It strictly allows you to tow over 15k 5th wheel
