The highways won't be an issue. If you haven't driven a motorhome, watch out while maneuvering. If it's a long Class C, especially on Ford, it has a huge turning circle. A U-Turn is impossible on anything but a four lane divided highway. In towns and fuel stops, beyond the limited turning:
The Rear Wheels can easily go over the curb on a right turn
The Rear End Swing can go into another lane on a tight turn or catch something like a gas pump or safety post
The Middle of the Coach can rub along something that's too close alongside when you turn tight
We usually fuel at Truck Stops. They don't have gasoline in the actual Truck Lanes, but the pump area in front of the Travel Center is usually more spacious than an ordinary gas station/convenience store.
