I am the female portion of our team. I do drive about 50% of the time and also help with hooking up and disconnecting the toad, the sewer, water and power. I know as much about the onboard systems that I can so if I hear or see something out of place I can take action. We switch off every couple of hours.
I believe there should be two adults onboard need to at least be able to drive, especially in the case of an emergency. One can never know if the partner may have a health emergency or injury disabling them so having someone else onboard can handle the rig immediately!
It also gives the driver a break so they can sit back and enjoy the ride or take a nap.
In the case of solo travelers...they handle it alone but may stop more often to rest...that's what I'd do if I traveled solo.
If the female partner should have lessons to handle the rig if she feels insecure about it.
