RV driving lessons ASAP Please!

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.

  • Contact your local school district and get the name of their school bus company. They may give lessons.

    Or, a local charter bus company may give lessons or be able to direct you to someone who can give you lessons.

    But I really have to ask the first obvious question
    If you have never driven something this big why in the world would you buy it in the first place?


    They are unbelievable WOW talk about the cart before the horse.
  • Know any transit bus drivers? Maybe one would do some moonlighting for you? Jump on a bus, and ask the guy if he would be willing, or knows of another driver that might be, say for $25 an hour.
    They would certainly know what tricks you need to learn, as they wheel them around on city streets, in traffic, all day.

    Just a thought..

  • Try calling Lazy Days in Seffner. Several years ago I got driving lessons there for towing a 5er. You could also check the next rally/RV show in Daytona. That big old track is perfect for beginners in big MHs.
