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.

Given your story I think I would want my wife on the way to the hospital to make decisions about my health and not trying to drive a 40 ft. camper into a hospital parking lot that will be no doubt be in the middle of town with narrow drives in a state of mind of complete distraction. Just tell the PD to call someone to take to impound and deal with it later, Towing, Hotels, car rentals all around.
