Check with CA DMV to be sure but in Ohio for an RV you do not need anything but a regular driver license.
Amazing, isn't it?

'95 F250 ext cab long bed, PSD, 5 speed manual, two wheel drive, 3.55 gears, LUK clutch conversion, 450 lb homemade REAR BUMPER, homemade open element AIR FILTER, aluminum bed cap. With me in the cab (285#) and full of fuel weighs 6,580 lbs (steer 3420 drive 3160)
If your 5th wheel will weight over 10k pounds you need a special endorsement. Pretty easy to get. No medical required. However most DMV offices have no idea what you will be talking about. When I did mine it took longer for them to figure out what to do than actually do it and take the simple test.
Do I need a special license to tow the 5th wheel a vehicle behind it? Will my class C license will do?

Others have hit the main points:
1. fifth wheel less than 10,000 lbs GVWR = no extra licencing required
2. fifth wheel between 10,001 lbs and 15,000 lbs = an RV endorsement on your Class C license
3. fifth wheel over 15,000 lbs GVWR = non-commercial Class A license is required
4. fifth wheel towing anything = CDL with doubles endorsement
