My wife wouldn't drive the motor homes we have had or even take the controls of the airplanes that I've owned.
I did get her to drive a dirt bike but she did not even get a driver's license until she was 30 and she only got the license then because I bought HER a new car and I told her it would just sit in the driveway until SHE drove it.
Since then she has driven many cars and trucks that we have owned but she still won't drive the MH. Now her vision is not perfect and I don't even try to get her to drive the MH anymore. I still have 20-20 vision and great night vision so it only makes sense that I drive although there are times when I would rather be a passenger. When those times come, we just stay at a location for a few days longer and then continue on our journey when I feel like driving again. After hundreds of thousands of miles, driving the MH is not as much fun as it used to be. The journey itself makes it all worthwhile.
