B+ motorhomes

as you know, Martha drives for us since i have low vision. she does a good job, but is very carefully slow and makes many corrections when in proximity to things, even w/ our 4runner. i will watch her back it down the driveway and under its shed and get frustrated that it could be done more fluidly, but not w/ my eyes. so pretty sure our B+ is the upper size we could manage.

sounds like you have PP under control, and that it does require more diligence. how carefully cautious do you find yourself driving ths B+? how would you compare terry's handling it to yours? (i realize i am treading on thin ice with the whole 'woman driver' thing, so i apologize in advance.)

It's good to realize what one is comfortable with. Back in our "camping with kids" days, one would take the motorhome pulling the jetski and the other drove the van pulling the boat. We drove six hours to the lake we liked. Ah, yes, those were the days.

Terry does very well driving the B+. I never had a complaint about his driving the big rig either. He's a very good driver. We just always thought if there was an "event" while he was driving, I would haul him out of the driver's seat and take over. With 40,000 lbs going down the road at 60+ mph we realize it was foolish to think I could do that. So he navigates. But, his one concession is that when we get to the RV park, he takes over and parks it. I can certainly back it up, but like he says. . . . I give better hand signals to get him in. He watches me closely and I can squeeze him in places no one can get into. If I am parking, he's back there yelling and screaming, so we just don't do it that way anymore. Like I said, you learn what you are comfortable with and go with it.

I do love the freedom of the B+. When we went to Alaska, it was great to have everything we need and not have to hookup/unhook a car, etc. We kept MinnieMee and get her out a couple times each summer.

Happy Camping!
