I am SO HAPPY right now!! I’m a single, 59 year old female and I pull a travel trailer. I do it by myself and I LOVE IT!! I get so frustrated when I hear/see other women say they’re too scared to do it. Why? You’re not too inept, silly, dumb, weak, etc. Anyone can do it and should! It’s empowering & self esteem building. Plus, an emergency (ie: the driver gets sick, breaks something, etc) is NOT a good time to learn. I am so capable of driving, backing in, hooking up and breaking down my own rig. And so is every other woman out there!! Thank you both so much for a much needed video. I wish all the bigger RV channels would do the same. Happy camping. I’m at a state park right now and it’s amazing!!

You have NO IDEA how inspiring it is to see a woman at the wheel of a "Class A!" !!!! I started learning to drive back in 2019 and after scouring KZfaq for Videos on Driving there were very few if any "Big Rig" Women Drivers to watch. Thank you for this video and all other "Lady Driver" videos you produce! It's still wonderful to see even after all this time! I did take lessons from "RV School", which I highly recommend to any new driver! This is fantastic!

Really great info in general. I always enjoy your videos. You probably won’t read this, since I’m writing it 10 months after the publish date (sorry - just found it 😄), but I do have a comment I’m hoping you won’t take wrong. I was sort of disappointed that you offered so little (as in zero) info or driving/parking tips for solo travelers. Fortunately, I have a smaller Class C (27’ Winnebago) rather than a Class A. But honestly, most all the same concerns apply. Then again, you can only realistically talk about what you know - and you are an awesome TEAM. 👍🏼

My wife and I developed hand signals 40+ years ago. She stands at the back driver's side corner where I can see her in the mirror at all times. If I can't see her I stop. Driving a diesel pusher is different than a gas motorhome because you're sitting in front of the steer tires. 85% of RV insurance damage claims is the results of "tail-swing" according to reports. I've seen barriers at fuel pumps hit.
