I am 76. Just started driving last year. Once I get behind the wheel I just love it. Will not let my husband drive. He sleeps imagine that. On our way to Mesa AZ as via southern interstate 10. Drove 7 hours today. It is really easy. My challenges are the gas stations. I try to find truck plazas. Been in some really good pickles. The trick is to have my husband get out and use our phones to help me. I learned this technique from a guy at a resort in California . After he helped me back into my camping spot he gave me confidence. I now do all the driving and my husband is okay with that. Keep on driving. You can do this. ❤️❤️

Hello. I have just found your channel. I am a retired Police Officer from Ohio and I travel America in a RV. I have a 2018 Renegade Ikon 45' coach, pulling a 24' stacker trailer with my toys in it. Watching you learning how to drive is, well funny. It is very important that you learn how to drive your coach. If God forbid something were to happen to your husband you would need to know how to drive it. Keep the rubber on the road. God bless.

AWESOME! You faced your fears and did it any way! Great job. The more you drive the more you will find your groove. I can remember my greatest fear was this extremely curved mountain road heading to Yosemite . I knew if I did not drive it with our 21’ and flat towed Jeep, I would always be scared. So I did it... cannot say I wasn’t petrified the whole way but once it was done I knew I could pretty much drive anywhere. Mike and I take turns in 2 hour shifts so he gets a rest along the trip. So excited for you on this win! Keep on driving cause practice makes it a piece of cake😍

You did a good job for the first time. When we bought out 45 fter in 17, we both took the RV driving school and learned a lot. We had to weave between cones, both forwards and in reverse, back in, parallel park, and finally on streets, in town, and on the highway. It is important that you are comfortable, and 1-2 hours at a time is a great start.

We sold our motorhome in 2018 because we couldn’t use it enough, but now we’re retired, and looking for another one. I can hardly wait.

My hubby got lucky and saw an opportunity to simply pull through an adjacent parking lot and park it back in the exact same spot we pulled out. You did GREAT and, yes, by great I mean no one died, nothing was damaged, and you arrived back at your site safe and sound. Practice makes mastery! You're my shero and I really needed this encouragement today. Thank you.

Congrats on overcoming your fear, taking the challenge and a solid first step towards learning something new and building the confidence to do it! Two tips I'll give you. When your backing, the longer the wheel base, the slower it responds, so don't make large turns unless you really need to, say when you are making the initial turn into the spot. Once your fairly close to straight, a 1/4 turn is the most you need to make to adjust your angle. Just use patience and wait and the end will come around. Second, When your backing, if you put your hand at the top of the wheel, and move your hand the direction you want the back of the RV to go, you'll never turn it the wrong direction, which is always a challenge for drivers when their backing something new. It's the opposite if you have a trailer hooked up. Hand at the bottom of the wheel. CONGRATS AGAIN! Breath Deep, take your time, one step at a time and before you know it, your be pulling a shift driving some of those highway miles as a new milestone!

I’m glad I learned. Bravo for learning. Have a friend who rode in the the passenger seat in their 40 ft bus until her husband became ill on a trip and if they were to get home, she had no choice but get behind the wheel with only him giving advice from the sofa. She got them home, but she recommended not learning by having to do it with no practice !

Congrats... I decided to buy my Motorhome 36' foretravel diesel pusher in Florida and I live in Wisconsin. I did watch the RVgeeks videos because I was having anxiety about driving the MH and crashing it on the drive back 1200 miles. Well I did have a guy yell out his window at me and suggest a few things but other then that, I did learn how to drive it after 1200 miles. I had no choice it was just me. I had to back up in very tight spots without a backup camera since it stopped working and no damages to me or anyone else. I still have a bit of nerves but will drive anywhere I need to be now. thanks for the video... glad I wasn't the only one who was a bundle of nerves when I first started. Happy New year!

GREAT VIDEO!! You two are sooooo funny!! I feel your anxiety, Stacy, but you were awesome and a huge inspiration to me!! We used to camp years ago with a full size van and a large pop-up camper. I could back the camper up in our driveway with a car on the other side and thought I could handle anything! Now it's close to 20 years later and we're getting back into camping. We are both retiring this November (WOOHOO!!!) and plan to travel. We have a 2018 Ford F-150 extended cab and a 2018 dual-axle Prime Time Avenger ATI 21RBS (27' from ball to bumper). The total length for both vehicles is 46 feet. My unexperienced hubby, like yours, didn't have a choice but to jump in and drive. I know that I need to learn to drive it but I'm scared to death!! However, I'm going to pull on my big girl panties and do it!! Wish me luck!! Safe travels & happy camping!! :o)

There is always the possibility an emergency could come up where YOU need to drive. We don’t like to think about it and we think nothing will ever happen but being prepared is better than not. We did the same thing, went to a school parking lot and I made my wife drive, back, and park until se felt somewhat comfortable. Now if I do some bone headed thing like trip over something at a camp site and injure my leg at least we can get home and OH yes she had to learn how to disconnect Everything, also. YOU go Girl!

Great job! I could feel you nerves as I learned to drive an 18 wheeler 20 years ago at the age of 49. Keep practicing and try to keep your hands at 10 & 2 or 9 &3 positions. Reason is that you have better control and should the airbag deploy hopefully it will keep you arms from being broke.

Good job driving, it took me about 18 years before I ever drove our truck towing the travel trailer. I hate the sway while on the highway and I do not like driving in the city at all. But, I am getting there.

Ok good job stacy...now as being a truck driver since 1980 I do have some concerns..see I learned like your doing just had to get in there an do it...but in today's world truck drivers have to go thru training and such to drive the truck..the rv of today are not much lighter than the rig we drive especially when they are pulling 30 foot trailers loaded down with stuff..lol I wish there were some courses new rv owners had to take at least get the just of the rig..they are big and heavy ...off my soap box..you did good...we are new rv owners my wife Tracy and I do team drive in the 18 wheel truck to make our living...we bought us a Safari Serengeti almost brand new 1996 model and we love it..I enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the good work and for the life of me I cant recall your husband's name I'll go back and look when I get done with this.. thank you for your service to our country..

LOL, we have learning to drive a motorhome in our near future. It did not take long for me to feel comfortable pulling our fifth wheel, but the motorhome might be a different story. I quickly learned that mirrors are your friend. Backing is always so much harder. On my test drive, the big shock for me was the amount of space in front of the motorhome that you cannot see (because of the height off the ground, etc). Also, they cut (wheel cut) sharper than I thought. We both plan to learn to drive.

If you are already driving the 5th wheel you will cross over without a problem. I just need to practice more and gain confidence. Maybe a few rest stop to rest stop drives in the middle of nowhere.
