First and foremost, my humble opinion is both spouses need to know how to do everything on the RV. A number of years ago, one of our dear MOC friends would never let his wife drive the truck, let alone pulling the RV. He ended up having a medical emergency and being transported by Flight for Life. There his wife sat, hundreds of miles away, with never having driven the truck or pulled the camper. Can’t happen to you? Guess again. So, if that woke you up to why it’s important, good.

Now, especially with Covid 19 around, there are plenty of wide open school parking lots. There are driving schools and the MOC rally as other options if you aren’t patient enough. No men allowed at the ladies driving school. My wife has pulled solo through Milwaukee rush hour traffic, she has driven through Chicago and anywhere I need her to spell me. It’s not good enough to just learn, they need to practice.

And for those who commented that the RV is no place to learn, where did you start? We all had a first time, even if it was a long time ago. Soap box stored.
