Forum members get the benefit of these educational videos. But what about non-members? I would like to see every large RV driver go through what I went through to get my CDL: studying the manual, passing the written(s) and a driving test. Cali and some other states have started adding endorsements but, in Cali's case, only for DP's longer than 40' and the heavier trailers. All motorhome drivers should get the training.
Anybody can go down to their local Commericial DMV office and get a free copy of the same study material required for the semi drivers. There are also plenty of practice tests on the internet to see if you learned anything. Anyone know the proper way to test their airbrakes? There's videos for that, too.
Point is there is plenty of material/videos available so that everyone can be a better/safer RV driver.
When our state was thinking about an endorcement for what you mention, the RV dealers beat it down to state Capitol to protest, and how much tax money the state would lose if public couldn't buy whatever they wanted to buy. End result...lots of people shouldn't even be on the road in anything.
