Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience we had with our Driving School Instructor, Dan Sheppard, here in Yuma, AZ.

Due to some mechanical issues with our motorhome, we had to postpone our initial scheduled lessons. Dan could not have more understanding and flexible.

Even though I had some very limited experience driving our MH (straight highway driving for about an hour at a time.I still approached our upcoming lesson with lots of apprehension, anxiety, and trepidation. Several years ago, we were involved in a front end MH collision. My husband was driving and did a marvelous job of maintaining control of the MH. I always worried after that if I could have had the presence of mind to keep control. From then on I panicked anytime I tried to drive.

Dan was aware of my concerns. He took it slowly and built up my confidence. We concentrated on any technique I needed. He picked all the right steps and calmly talked me thru everything. I even managed the scary right-hand lane split and driving over a mountain pass. He knew when to push and when to repeat a technique. He also did a wonderful job of explaining technical topics on the Motorhome I needed to learn.

Dan also spent time with my husband, Art reinforcing some techniques and explaining some other topics.

At the end of the two days, I felt confident that I can now be a positive contributing driving partner.

I can without a doubt recommend Dan to anyone in the Yuma, AZ area.

Before taking this class I was very reluctant to drive such a large vehicle and felt the need to have instruction so I could better understand how to drive safely. I came across your school when doing an internet search, and you offered all that I was looking for. So, my husband and I signed up to take your 2 day course.

We were very pleased with our instructor, Phil Bachman. He did a good job on going our RV. He discussed the safety features, what to check before you start the RV when beginning a trip as well as safe operation while driving. He was very knowledgeable and gave us good advice on Do’s and Don’ts for different situations, such as driving in mountains. Phil is a good teacher and his experience as a truck driver and a long-time RV owner helped us gain very helpful information.

By the end of the 2 day course, I felt comfortable behind the wheel of our RV (Renegade Classic 41’). Phil had me backing it up, parallel parking, going into Rest Areas and truck stops. I am now confident that I will be able to handle the RV on our trips.

Thank you for providing this school and for having such good instructors. We will definitely recommend RV Driving School to others.

 Gary Wiesz was an excellent gentleman to work with for our rv driving lessons. He worked hard to make us feel comfortable under his supervision. Meanwhile in a gentle manner he shared suggestions on how to be a safer and better rv driver.

 

    We appreciated how he used a wide variety of of driving terrains for us to hone our skills. This was beneficial as we continued our travels after our lesson.

 

    Already we have recommended RV Driving School and Gary to other rv motorists.

 

    Also, we appreciated the promptness of getting our certificates of completion to us. Overall we found all aspects of RV Driving School to be a very professional business.

Hello! Just wanted to let you know about our driving class this weekend, our instructor Tim “Mr Cool” Armstrong never got flustered or impatient as he took a student who had never backed a trailer before and had her able to back our 35’ 5th wheel between two busses by the second day. A valuable class and more than worth the money, I believe the class should be a prerequisite when purchasing a new camper. Thank you RV Driving School!

I had a wonderful lesson with instructor Glyn Carson. He is a jewel. Thank goodness he limited me to just 4hrs a day training. I appreciated that he scheduled the instruction to what I wanted to accomplished and do, every step of the way. He also spent time on issues I hadn’t even thought about and I’m so glad he did.

He focused tips & training to incorporate the solo aspects of doing manuevers and how to overcome weight lifting limitations that I have. He really calmed my fears and for my son who was so worried about me driving long distance by myself.

Luckily Glyn was game to address my biggest fears. I took him to an extremely busy Walmart at noon on Saturday to navigate narrow lanes with numerous obstacles. I’m happy to say that there was no loss of life or property and no one had to get out of my way and no horns honking at me. I think my son was a wreck in the back seat but luckily I didn’t see or hear his angst but heard him relate the event to family.  Yes, thank you for allowing an observer who could ride along to take notes for me and to help reiterate points once Glyn left. My confidence soared after the first day and we continued to practice the second day to keep the lessons fresh. What I appreciate he showed me how to check my rig and discussed things the dealer never mentioned, he also helped me learn so things about my new truck that I didn’t know yet. What I appreciate the most is when I came to an issue the following week he took the time to advised me.

You have one heck of a great teacher in Glyn. You’d be a fool to ever let him go. His easy country manner is so calming and I was fortunate to meet with his wife so I was able to get hints and ideas from her as far as the womanly aspects of setting up an rv too.

 I have already recommended the class to a camping friend who is planning to get an rv soon and to my banker who’s husband does all the traveling but realizes there could come a time when she will have to drive and having to do so in an emergency situation isn’t the best time to take it on.
