So, you want to buy a motorhome, RV or motor coach, but you've never driven one before. Where do you go to get lessons to learn how to drive these monster-sized vehicles?
Andy Pargh, The Gadget Guru faced this dilemma and this is Part #1 of his series about learning to drive a RV.
In this introductory episode, Andy gives you the background on what he's attempting to do and his opinions of the lack of training offered to potential RV and motorhome owners. He also visits his first RV dealership, La Mesa RV in Port St. Lucie, FL and takes his first test drive in a pre-owned Newmar Mountain Aire. Let's just say this experience left Andy with more questions than answers. In fact, this single experience led me on a journey to see if there's a better way to shop for RVs or Motorhomes other than by visiting the local RV Superstore.
I have documented my experiences about learning more about motorhomes and I have a complete section on my adventures at: www.gadgetguru.com/motorhomes . More videos are coming soon with topics ranging from the RV industry and the various models to visiting multiple new and used dealers and manufacturers.

I thought I would learn something about driving RV's. I was wrong.

The creaks and rattles is what got me when I first got my class C. I tried everything: aftermarket Sway bars, sumo springs, heavy duty shocks ..... and I'm still creaking !

La Mesa lost a big opportunity here. They may be nice people but not very pr savy.

There was a school in TX (not sure it's still in business - could be I haven't checked lately) - but to at least get the feel of a large rig, renting a cargo truck is a good start. I'm only considering a large coach myself because I've driven a 30 plus foot cargo hauler on several occasions (including long-hauls from CA to KS, and from TX to CO). Being knowledgeable of how the Jake Brake works, extra attention to your side-mirrors, being turning radius aware (pulling out far and cutting sharp), and most importantly know your height and don't assume any bridge or overpass is safe. (there's obviously more to it than that - but that's how I performed, as well as using a lot of caution. I'm never in a hurry to get into an accident.)

@@TheGadgetGuru without snark - it was pretty much an intro with all the 'we're going to' vs - doing. Although given La Mesa's run-around I can see why. Ty for the follow-up link! (you may want to include it in the description).
