How about a Fireman?
The guys that drive Fire Trucks are some of the best drivers in the world. They are schooled extensively and practice daily. They can fit that big truck in the tightest places and then back into the garage perfectly. Every time!
Walk into a firehouse some afternoon and look at the pumper truck. If the drivers seat is even with (or in front of) the front wheel, it is just like a RV chassis. Ask who is the driver for the Pumper. (Ladder and Tower Trucks are something else, but the driver might have worked his way up.)
Fireman are often looking for part time work and you might find one (or get the name of one). Good Luck!
Actually, although they could probably teach you how to drive, most fire trucks have somebody at the rear driving the rear axles and they are articulating units, while fire engines have fairly short wheel bases and are much easier to maneuver than a 40 foot RV would be.
Yep, I know one who drove a American LaFrance ladder truck into a restaurant. Right straight in the front door. They had to put a new cab on the truck and new front on the restaurant.
