To obtain my license I took the CDL written test and a Driving Test in the motorhome just like the CDL test. Just no physical or drug test required.
I do not have the regulations in front of me however, I carry copies of those pages with me in my motorhome to be able to show them to an officer should he want to see them.
Just best not to argue with the officer who stopped you but you can with his supervisor if needed or the judge when in court.
The key is you are not commercial if you own all of the rig and contents, it is registered as a RV in your name, you are the driver, and you are not a for profit operation.
I just carry my hobby toys in a big rig.
