Age to start driving 24' class C
Howdy, Have some almost fully grown kids. What age do you think it is ok to let a young adult drive a class c. 17, 20 and 24. Mostly need input on the 17 year old.

Our adult children have never asked to borrow our motorhomes. I would not hesitate to let them drive if I could give them a good demo during a trip of how to drive including braking/stopping distances at various speeds, safe driving in twisty roads, use of low gears for going up hills or on downgrades, handling swaying from passing big rigs and crosswinds, merging and changing lanes on freeways, backing into campsites, and judging overhead clearance. I think that we tend to under-emphasize what it takes to drive a motorhome safely and without damage.
Good ideas.
I also like the idea of giving them each a bit of behind the wheel practice just in case they need to drive it in an emergency. Find a big, empty parking lot.
And see then if you want them to drive more.
