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.

I bought my own 23' long F-350 supercab with camper back in 1987, when I was 22. I had a brand new Izusu pickup at 18, and think that driving a 24' long van based RV at 17 would have been something to try out. Not sure if it is right for them, but only time behind the wheel will tell.
I ended up driving my F-350 on ice at the Grand Canyon over Thanksgiving weekend in 1987 - my first real vacation with the camper. It was interesting. Made it back fine. . . No tire chains either. No experience even as a passenger driving in ice or snow.
It all depends on the maturity of the driver.
Avoid distractions while they are learning to drive the RV. It helps to have a U-haul tips for driving a truck. I guess the first time I drove a big truck was a 330 cubic inch 4 speed on the floor U-Haul F-350 dually with a 12' long box, drove it up to Las Vegas and back to Huntington Beach. I was 18 or 19 then.
Good luck,
Have fun camping!
