My wife and I are also new motorhome drivers. Because we have the same concerns expressed, we took a two-day driving class from **** Reed's RV Driving School (www.rvschool.com). We took the class in Ocala, Florida. The instructor was a former Greyhound driver so he was very experienced and very well trained. We learned key fundamentals about turning, mirror use, making proper turns, city, country and interstate driving and much more. We also learned that the best tip was to simply drive slow - well inside the limits of our coach. We now drive at 55 MPH and are very relaxed and comfortable that we understand how the coach drives and have learned essential skills about driving this big rig safely.
