Kay/ Jack G.Since we have never, ever driven any RV of any sort, we know we needed much instruction. It has been 2 weeks since Mack did our training. We both feel more comfortable, but it is still kind of daunting. Practice, practice, practice. And we will get that practice as we venture out on our journey to Alaska. I am sure we will come across all types of situations that can not be replicated in driving school.
In general, the training was adequate. It gave us a basis to build upon. I was disappointed in the hours. We were not given 6 hours each day of driving. It does state that the training is 2 days, 6 hours each day. That did
not happen especially on 2nd day. On the list of things supposedly covered and not done were: on/off ramps, interstate driving, lane mngt, gas stations, never used GPS Navigation on rig, one of us drove in heavier traffic (not both).
On a more positive note, we are both glad we did have lessons and covered a few of the topics; this made us more confident than no lessons at all. Mack was extremely personable, understanding, patient, and shared his many years of driving experiences/situations with us. Mack, upon initial meeting, is pretty intimidating, but in reality he is just a big teddy bear.
If you have any questions, concerns or comments, please reach out to us.
Thank you

My wife and I took the drivingclass with JoAnn Doane. First, JoAnn was a delight and thorough. It was well worth the money and time as new RV owners to take this class. Second, my wife was anxious with respect to driving the RV. JoAnn adjusted her speed of introducing new things to help her develop more confidence. The second day my wife was rocking it, going up and down the mountains of North Carolina.
I appreciated all of the general advice that was offered to make this new adventure a more enjoyable experience. Her experience was very helpful in just getting more familiar with all the options. The end of the first day, we added some additional items to our list of purchases to make sure that we were prepared for different experiences.Well worth it and JoAnn is a natural teacher.Best regards,David
Joel B.The instructor Michael Lynch was outstanding. Vital classroom instruction significantly helped prep us for the coach driving course. I will
be urging our salesperson at NIRVC to recommend this course, and Instructor Lynch to all new Class A RV buyers.
Anyone purchasing an RV of this magnitude is negligent and foolish not to take this course. It needs to be mandatory or at least significant discounts on insurance policies for successful course completion.
Thank you for a great service to the RV industry.

Wow! What can I say?! My wife’s and my last two days with Randy have been nothing short of phenomenal. Randy is so knowledgeable,and able to pass on that knowledge in a patient way for new motorhome owners, like us. I feel much more confident to safely operate my new motorhome than when the dealer had me do a 3 mile loop on Friday before driving it away. Randy is awesome! We have already passed on Randy’s and RV Driving school name on to two local campers at our current location. Money well spent.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike Wertz and his driving instruction. While my husband had some prior experience, I was a total newbie. Mike ensured we both got the training we needed. I now feel confident and able to drive our Tiffin Allegro and Bill feels better about his pre-existing and new skills.
Mike’s instruction was patient and exact. His ability to reinforce each lesson with us by repeating the experience over and over was great. We still need some practice of course but expect to get a lot of that over the next few weeks.We are so glad we found RV Driving School and had Mike as our instructor.thank you,

We (my wife and I) found this course to be very useful. We are first time RVers and have no experience driving vehicles as large as our new Class A motorhome. We intentionally sought out some challenging actions (fuelling up, getting into freeway congestion due to an accident and slaloming around poles in an empty parking lot) because we knew we would be able to get help from our instructor (Rick Stewart) should we get in a bad situation.We learned what we needed and had enough practice to be confident as we head out on our new adventures. Very worthwhile, thanks to Rick.

We received our RV driving training on our Newmar 40 foot Dutch Star. The driving instruction was excellent. Our instructor, Randy, was knowledgeable, a very effective communicator/listener, and achieved the right balance between Safety and Enjoying the RV life.
We learned a great deal about the RV and it’s systems, safety features, driving in close areas, on roadways and the interstate. Also parking the RV including backing into a spot.
I recommend the RV Training School, especially Randy, to anyone purchasing an RV. If you start with safety first, then enjoying the RV Lifestyle becomes easy. Best regards, John

Jimmy was fantastic. First day was discussion and my mirrors needed serious adjustment. Then we drove rural and urban; very informative! Second day was various backing situations; fantastic again. Then more urban driving and per my request two different small gas station fueling. Overall Jimmy was very pleasant, put me at ease and was a great instructor. Highest grade. Will pass on your driving course. Thanks

My husband and I completed our class with Randy Stanhope, April 13th -14th, and have nothing but rave reviews for both the format and Randy.My husband has been driving the RV, and has experience driving trucks, so getting behind the wheel of our new Navion RV was not a huge deal. I drive a Kia Soul so my learning curve was steep. It was my goal to be able to drive the RV and I am happy to say “mission accomplished”.I really appreciated spending several hours reviewing safety, practical use and operational issues before even getting behind the wheel. By the time I sat in the driver’s seat I felt confident to hit the highway.Randy has an excellent demeanor and at no time did I feel I couldn’t ask a question or stop the training if I didn’t understand something.I highly recommend this class to new drivers, and experienced, as everyone will learn something valuable. I’ve already posted a favorable review on the Facebook Winnebago Navion/View Owners group page.Thank you for your service.Kind regards,Lisa

I had many questions about the process of driving a trailer that I felt couldn’t be answered until I was physically behind the wheel. Rick Steward was very friendly, patient, punctual and professional. Having Rick by my side during the learning processed eased my nerves and provided the confidence to get out on the road and get a feel for handling my 35” travel trailer. I am by no means an expert at driving my rig after only two days, but I now have the foundation to safely control and navigate my rig so that I may continue to develop and hone my capability.
Thank you,
Jeremy
