Wow, the class certainly exceeded all my expectations.  Michael Lynch was a pleasure to work with and was extremely accommodating when we had to reschedule the class a few times – first due to a repair taking longer than expected, next due to our truck mirrors not extending far enough, and second time was due to a dead battery making the hitch inoperable.  Finally the big day arrived and I was really looking forward to it.  So many of the practical tips apply to all types of driving, not just when pulling a trailer (we have a 27’ hitch tow).  Although I had a fair amount of time prior to the class with pulling the trailer, I was extremely anxious when confronted with tight spots like the gas station or narrow roads…like sweaty palms anxious.   And backing up?  Forget it!!  Michael was able to trouble shoot my backing problems being related to my not knowing when the trailer and truck were straight.  He put a bit of painters tape on the front of the trailer to make a spot for me to line up the trucks back corner with the tape marker and from that point on we where golden.  At his suggestion, I got some self adhesive reflectors to replace the tape and it looks great.   It was a wonderful experience and well worth the price.  I think it should be mandatory for anyone that is new to RV driving.  The highway is a heck of a place to be figuring it all out for the first time.

Thank you for offering this very helpful RV driving program. I enjoyed participating in the L9952 driving course which was one-on-one with my instructor Gary Goldsberry.  He was very methodical in introducing me to my new RV as well as the special features of the chassis.  I suppose I could have mucked along and figured things out along the way, but I could have gone years without knowing the usefulness of some of those features. Gary helped me understand how to set and when to use my side view mirrors, my back up camera, and when to get out and look around.  He gave me opportunities to repeat driving exercises that gave me backing up and parking confidence and he repeatedly pointed out some of my habits that can cause problems in a larger vehicle. Since I live in Colorado I’m used to mountain driving, but he pointed out the extra precautions I need to take when driving a larger vehicle as well as the usefulness of the tow-haul chassis feature.  I am very happy to call myself a graduate of the RV Driving School. I know I still have more work to do to refine my skills, but at least I now know I am on the right track.

I had the pleasure of attending an RV Driving ( 5th wheel towing in my case) class taught by Phillip Beasley. I can honestly say it was a pleasure to have Phillip teaching this class. He went out of his way to make my wife and I feel at ease, and to make sure everything we did was done in a safe and cautious manner. His explanations were simple and to the point, but still gave us all the information we needed. I cannot emphasize enough how comfortable I was taking instruction and direction from Phillip, and I believe that every word out of his mouth was intended to make me a better and safer driver, while towing my 5th wheel, or just driving in general. He spent time learning the nuances of my RV and tow vehicle, and then translating that info to me and showing me how it was relative to my towing experience. I’m new to towing anything this large, and Phillip gave me the confidence needed, and the knowledge needed to get the rig and my family safely down the road.

I would recommend this school and Phillip in particular to anyone who intends to drive or tow an RV, especially if you haven’t done it before, like me.
The training was delivered in a very positive manner, with the constant goal of encouragement and confidence building, with a consistent eye to safety at all times.
Phillip treated us like family, and took care of us accordingly.

I’m really happy that this school exists, and that there are folks like Phillip sharing their knowledge and experience to make us “newbies” better and safer RVers.

The lesson I had from Mike Lynch was really great.  I was a newbie and had never driven our 4 month old RV.  He made me feel very comfortable and he spent a good amount of time going over what we would be doing, the terminology and safety.  That gave me a good understanding of exactly what I would be able to accomplish by the end of the day.

We were extremely happy with Charles. His calm demeanor helped my husband relax. He took his time and made the lessons fun and interesting. We definitely picked up some great pointers and feel much more comfortable driving our 36 foot Class A motor home. He is an excellent teacher.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am that I took your driving school program.  Randy was very professional and knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable in our coach.  I did all of the maneuvers that I had been particularly worried about. He taught me a number of crucial things about our coach as well, and I am 110% happy with the program.  I would highly recommend your school to anyone I meet!  Thanks for a job well done.

We cannot express our gratitude for the professionalism and instruction with the RV driving school.  Charles was fantastic!  Not only did he teach us everything we needed to know about driving, parking, etc., he gave us many tips on safety, potential issues to look for on our RV, along with his experiences, which were so helpful with our future RV adventures.
We thought we knew everything about driving and operating an RV, but we learned that we had several misconceptions along with things that we just needed to do differently.
Thank you, Charles and thank you RV Driving School for such an informative and priceless experience.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on our driving school experience with Charles McLeod.

Gary Wilson and I both took the training to learn more about driving our recently purchased 38’ Class A diesel pusher. We had previously had a 28’ C Class.
We found Charles to be a very good instructor. He was both cordial and knowledgeable.  He provided clear instructions and had an encouraging style with constructive feedback.
Gary has had much more driving experience on large vehicles/trailers.  I have had very little experience. We found the following segments of the training particularly useful:
  – the “set-up” concept for both turns and backing.
  – the practice on backing into the camping spots from both sides of the coach.
  – mix of highway and side roads driving, the practice pulling into Walmart, gas stations, restaurants.
  – the overview of the whole coach with regard to safety and in particular the air brake training.
  – Charles shared much information on his own experiences RVing that we learned a lot from.
Gary learned some new techniques to compliment his experience.  As a new RV driver with very little experience I certainly learned the most. Charles not only showed us some good techniques, but instilled great confidence in me that I could successfully drive the coach. I appreciate that the most. Since our training I have driven over 300 miles!
The accessibility of local trainers was a great feature of your program.  We were so fortunate to get into training quickly with Charles. He was very responsive. L9856

Dana C. I just wanted to follow up after my lesson with Gary. It was a great experience! I’m so glad I did it. I feel so much more confident after taking the class. I’m not afraid to drive the RV anymore. Gary is a pleasure to work with. He’s very knowledgeable and very patient. I feel confident that he showed me the most important points regarding safe driving. I had plenty of time and he provided a variety of driving scenarios to give me a good feel for what I might encounter. I would highly recommend this training and Gary as an instructor. Thank you. I included a video of me backing into a simulated parking stall. I amazed myself!

My lesson was with Randy and it was one of the most valuable experiences I have had since buying my RV. He was terrific and so knowledgeable and helpful.
I have what I think is a very important suggestion.  I thought I was getting a driving lesson. It’s far more extensive and important than that. Driving was a small part of it. Randy went over every dial in the RV along with all the various parts of the RV that i have never had the opportunity to learn. That includes all the cargo bins, generator, engine, batteries etc. We don’t use the RV as much as i would like so don’t have the experience to learn all the details of the vehicle. Randy helped with that.
You should not advertise it as a driving lesson since it’s more like a “operating the RV” lesson. I should have done it a year ago after I had just bought the RV.
I have already scheduled another review in the spring.
Thanks so much.
