Howdy!
We just bought a 40' diesel motorHome and need to find a place or person who can teach us how to drive it!
It will very soon be ready and delivered before the end of this month!
We live in the Orlando, FL area.
I've been researching to no avail.
I even tried Florida DMV.
First off congats. on your new coach. I too applaud you for wanting to get driver lessons.
Don't let the naysayers get to you.
I would recommend a facility that trains commercial drivers or RV specific drivers, buses etc. You don't need to know all the things a commercial driver needs to know but the basics will help you immensely.
An important aspect that has not been mentioned is the air brakes. Having a basic knowledge of how they work and things to watch for are paramount to safe operation. Good luck and happy travels.
