Corey and I took the two-day RV Driving Course on August 4 and 5, 2025.  Our instructor was Mr. Lance Arnold.

Mr. Arnold was extremely knowledgeable about fifth wheel towing and covered everything about the tow vehicle, hitch and the fifth wheel.  Tire safety, brakes and brake adjustment, tow capacity, hitch height adjustment, slides, awnings, fire extinguisher operation, generator safety, propane and fuel safety, hitching and unhitching, maintenance schedules and a lot more.  He also covered typical campsite layouts.  We could tell that he had years of experience as a truck drive and RV driver.

He initially used a model to demonstrate the techniques applicable to driving a fifth wheel in situations encountered on the road, such as right turns, left turns, roundabouts, and driving on curved surfaces such as highway ramps.

He then provided behind the wheel instruction where he talked us through each of the road situations that had been previously demonstrated, first in an area with limited traffic and then progressing to roads with full traffic and then highway driving.

He explained about hazards likely to be encountered due to the RV height including trees, wires and bridges.  He explained the standard bridge height and where to look for signage indicating a different height.  He instructed to continually monitor the surroundings and the road ahead and how to anticipate upcoming traffic signals.  He instructed on safely crossing railroad tracks.

We also had behind the wheel training in straight line backing and backing the RV into a campsite (both sight and blind side).  He provided a step-by-step method to use to back the RV into the camp site and how the RV should be positioned at each step.  He explained how to position the RV for hookups and to consider the extension of the slide outs and awnings and the locations of picnic tables and utilities.

Mr. Arnold was thorough, patient, and kind.  He made us feel very comfortable and confident in our ability to safely operate our RV.  He is an excellent instructor and exceeded our expectations.  I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a better understanding of RV driving.

I completed a four hour class this morning with Martin Stevens.   I have to say this is one of the best classes I have ever taken.   In the four hours spent with Martin I have improved my 5th wheel Rv backing skills by 75%. Martin has a teaching skill that is very straight forward and easy to understand.  He is a subject expert when it comes to backing up RV’s .  His style of teaching really makes it easy to improve one’s skill set in short matter of time. Plus he puts you at ease and really knows what you are doing wrong and quickly shows you the correct way.  Martin is a very personable guy and the four hours of instruction “flies by”.  I’m very glad he was my instructor.   This was money well spent and I’m glad I chose RV Driving School

Mike was helpful, patient, and encouraging during our backing up lesson.  We have much more confidence now as we head out on our camping adventures and highly recommend the RV Driving School.

I wanted to let you all know how extremely satisfied I am with the entire process.  I originally took a 2 day course in Redlands, CA and I thought the class and instructor were great and I got plenty of driving practice.  When asked to provide my thoughts, I had suggested that perhaps more time was spent with backing and parking.  It was not a complaint but only a suggestion.

However you guys called me to discuss and immediately connected me to Mike Walsh.  Boy am I so happy that 1) you took the time to read the feedback and immediately did something about it and 2) connected me to such a wonderful instructor full of knowledge and amazing teaching style.

After plenty of backing up practice, Mike placed me in some tricky real life scenarios to show me how I would need to troubleshoot and get my rig out of it.  Not only did I have to work on muscle memory but he got my brain working.  Moving over to parking at a grocery store was so awesome as well as he taught me things I would have not thought about.

Mike is awesome and thank you RV school for a great experience.

Ed Tworek has a wealth of knowledge on numerous aspects of RVing in addition to driving.  I enrolled in this training specifically for backing up a fifth wheel. I registered with the drive along option.  Having my wife present help both of us because she heard what Ed’s instruction and Ed helped her guide me so we are better able to work as a team while parking the 5th wheel.

 

The techniques Ed taught help me easily determine where my truck and trailer were in relation to jack knifing, how to learn to position the truck and trailer to initiate the most effective back up, and how to efficiently recover when I would get the truck and trailer into a tight spot.

My confidence level in my ability to backup the 5th wheel has as least double after Ed’s instruction.

In discussions with my wife, she too feels she is much better able to guide me when backing up.

I will recommend this class often.

Thanks
