Yes, 10k =10,000.

If a trailer has a pair of 8k [each] axles, itll usually be about a 14k rated trailer because the framework consumes a portion of the axle capacity.  All our components have mfr rating tags.

What I'm saying is most all 5th wheel campers are over 10K. I know the people don't have class A CDL that own them. Mine the GVR is 18K. Why dont everyone have to have class A to pull one of them? 
No matter where you go there you are!!!

The class A requirement is that the trailer is 10,000 or more lbs, rating, AND the combination weight of the tow vehicle and trailer is 26,001 or more lbs. Even a dually with a big 5th wheel is almost always under that, not by much, as the new ones are getting bigger, thus the non CDL-A requirement.

Rec stuff can throw CDL stuff out the window in a hurry look at the big diesel pusher motorhomes if grandpa or great grandpa needed a CDL I don't think you'd see one. Here's one for you air brakes under 26k CDL or not? From memory it's a CDL with an air endorsement all those big buses have air brakes.

If the motor home exceeds 26,001 lbs then a CDL-B becomes necessary, what do you want to bet those are tagged for 25,999.  You can get an air brake endorsement for a "regular" drivers license.

You don't need a commercial license for rv's. I know someone who had a 33k International box trick with a jet dragster and a bed in the back on rv plates. An Ohio state cop pulled him over at 4:00 am. When the Mass registry opened they said let him go, it's legit. 

Technically, a commercial license isn't required until the weight exceeds 26k, either single or combination. Some states have weird rules, and even the cops don't always know what they are talking about.
