“There’s to it,” te with experience told me.  “You just have to watch your end when you corner,” they added.  While these are true, there must be lot that they had failed to mention.  What about the width, the height, the lack of visibility, and my nervousness?

As climbed the wheel for the ft time, looked in the se mirror and was convinced the motorhome was closer to 100 feet rather than the 28 feet they told us it was when we bought it.  Shifting into gear, inched from our house while kept my eyes on all of the mirrors.  “Don’t worry about the rear-view mirror,” was told.

I drove slowly and block by block slowly began to gain confidence.  An hour was comfortable to drive into garage for gas.  And with hours of experience my belt, we headed for the highway on our ft trip with me as the driver.

We traveled on what is considered to be of the most difficult roads in the province of British Columbia.  was told when we set off, “don’t worry and don’t look down”.  believe they thought te were words to instill confidence in my first-time effort to navigate this highway.

I began to realize as drove that ‘voices of experience’ are so comfortable that they forget to tell all they learned as new drivers of motorhome.  There were learned in ft hours that experienced drivers didn’t think to tell me.

-  In spite of what was told, the rear-view mirror was big help.  When vehicles traveled too close me, was able to the tops of their roofs in the rear-view mirror en if wasn’t able to them in my mirrors.

-  fd it was important to firm grip on the steering wheel when traveling where big rigs are sharing the road with you.  was surprised to discover that the wind they made as they passed rocked the motorhome.  Also, when traveling in spaces, there is strong likelihood there will be gusts of wind across the highway and the motorhome could shift significantly.

-  Steer wide when making right-hand turns.

-  Stay at speed that is comfortable for you.  90 km/h was good speed to begin with.  (When traveling at consistent speed, gas consumption is also reduced).

-  The sl round mirrors on the mirrors can save your life; they are the ones that will let you kw if is in your blind spot.  Make good use of them.

-  Try to angle the vehicle when pulling into traffic in to get the view of the approaching traffic.

-  Stay in the slow lane and don’t feel pressured to go faster than you are comfortable with.

After trips, feel vy comfortable driving our RV and would have no qualms about driving anywhere.
