It's official, I've started my quest to learn to drive a motorcoach. This is Part 1 of a three part series that highlights my experience taking a two-day Learning To Drive A Motorhome class at Motorhomes of Texas in Nachogdoches, Texas. So, it's no surprise that he prefers Foretravel coaches!
In this episode you'll meet Keith Davis, my Instructor for this class. Keith has quite a bit of experience with Foretravel Motorcoaches and spend many years in numerous departments at the factory. He later took his expertise to Motorhomes of Texas.
Davis worked with the Management of Motorhomes of Texas to come up with a program to teach potential new owners the basics of handling a larger motorhome.
He started by walking around the coach and providing a pre-trip inspection. Then, I took the seat and received my first lesson on mirror adjustment and learned the importance of constantly monitoring where you are in your lane and what's around you at all times. While modern coaches have cameras that deliver various exterior views, cameras or monitors can cease to operate and that's why not relying on only the cameras and understanding how to interpret what's in your mirrors are so important.
Davis then drove me to a parking lot where I had my first "true" motorhome driving lesson in a 40' Foretravel Nimbus!

Please introduce these videos as being talky talky talky talky and virtually no walkie walkie. Yes I appreciate the fact that you're getting all the information about a pre-trip inspection but how about telling us at the beginning that there will be no driving time involved on this video. And then we would know specific we were not waiting through a whole video of way way way too much talk to get nothing I mean the information is great but we never actually happens maybe that's another video

I've gone through three of The Gadget Guru's "Learning to Drive" videos. *Not one has taught RV driving.* Worse yet, in the Newell video, the expert's advice is cut-out and we see him driving, with the climax being the teacher's opinion of how he did. *That's not teaching.*

You have a video why show us the process. There was more time spent talking about the what your going to do vs showing it. Again you are ready have video rolling.

Your videos are more about the equipment than it is about driving an RV. Too much talk, not enough demonstration of technique. Very disappointing and you talk too much.

The title is very misleading! It should have been touted as a sales discussion, all you did for most of the video was tell us how great the coach was, and what the company could do for the coach owner. Foretravel may be a great motorhome, but watching 10-15 minutes of sales pitches is not what you led us to believe this was about. Next time title your videos accurately!
