My wife and I are new to RVing and have no experience driving with any kind of trailer. We have a diesel F-350 dually and bought a used, 38-foot 5th wheel. We were both nervous about taking the RV out on the road, so we signed both of us up for driving lessons; Mike Wertz was our instructor.
Mike did a great job. We both drove in town, on the highway, around tight neighborhoods, into gas stations, etc. We spent quite a bit of time backing both in straight lines and into a campsite. Mike was patient and thoughtful, tailoring our lessons to focus on what each of us needed the most. We’re certainly not 5th wheel driving experts but, after two days of lessons, we feel that we have the tools needed to hit the road safely.
We will do a bit more practice driving on our own then, five weeks from now, we will be taking off on our first cross-country trip. For us, the lessons from RV Driving School were a great investment. Keep up the good work!
Best regards,
