Hello All,

I have been taking an RV driving course with the Dick Reed driving school the last 2 day (1/2 day) each. I think this has been a shortcut to being more confident pulling the Montana. My instructor had me driving through narrow places I would never have tried and making left and right turns on very narrow streets. We even took the Montana on rutted dirt roads. We did steep grades and freeway driving. I drove 140 miles just during training! The REAL beauty of the course was hours of BACKING UP TRAINING! I sure hope we can remember it all when we are on our own. We did hours of backing in from the right and the left and what if there were things in the way. I had my little 17 foot trailer for 18 months and never felt as confident as I do now pulling this 34 foot monster.

I may even ask NOT to have pull through at our next RV site.

PS. While we were practicing backing up in this big dirt, two people stopped because they wanted to talk about our Montana. One of these people had a 3075 on order. Naturally, I told him to check the MOC forum!
