Follow Valerie’s blog as she faces her fears and becomes increasingly comfortable driving our 40′ motor home. After five years of making excuses and approximately 55,000 miles in the passenger seat, Valerie now shares driving responsibility with husband, George.

Not only can we put on more miles together, but she finds herself less stressed and more comfortable when George takes the driver’s seat.
