I was calling around looking at RVs 15 years ago or so. I called about a 34' pace arrow I found in the RV trader. When I asked for directions to come take a look I was amazed the guy I was talking to was less than 100 ft away from me. Turned out to be my neighbor directly behind me. My wife and I walk over there, like what we see and the guy says "here, take it for a ride" and threw me the keys. I told him I'd never driven anything that big before and he says it's a snap to drive, no big deal.
Well, there were a few mailboxes and garbage cans in my neighborhood that might have argued with his assessments by the end of my test ride, but no serious damage.
Big RVs aren't too tough to drive, but you have to learn how to adjust for inside turns and rear end swing. Obviously backing up can be a challenge. If you don't have anyone you know with a MH to get you oriented, I think that RV class in Sarasota sounds like a fantastic idea. Of course you have to get there first.
If you get stuck, drop me a message. I live in Orlando near UCF. I have a TT right now, but we have the Class A bug again.
