I'm sorry to hear about your husbands illness, and hope that he recovers from this soon.
As a single woman who goes it alone, it's not really that difficult. I drove tractor/trailers for a living off and on throughout my life, so that helps, but I really enjoy pulling the Monty, and especially backing in. (I know, kinda weird...LOL)
If you're comfortable driving the truck on it's own, then pulling the trailer is no different. Just remember to check your side mirrors every 6-8 seconds, and look WAY ahead of you. You want to know what you're getting into BEFORE you get into it. Of course, backing is a little more difficult, but it's just another challenge to be beat. You can practice in a parking lot, or in a driveway in the country if that's available to you. Just take your time, go nice a easy, and you can do it.
If this is what you enjoy, traveling and camping in your trailer, then don't let anything stop you from doing that. I'll be starting my fulltiming experience by mid May, and I don't even know where I'll end up in the fall. Maybe in Arizona, or Texas, or Oklahoma. I don't know, but thats part of the fun, part of the freedom we strive for.
Many on this forum are here to help, they are a great group of people. Hang in there Dian, and if you need anything, have any questions, or just want to "talk", just PM me. From one gal to another...you can do this...:-) Good luck to both of you.
