You should have a plan with how to deal with a flat tire. RV's seem to be more prone to tire failure than automobiles. And, read about how to go down a step grades without burning out the brakes. Here is good read on handling grades, both up and down. http://rvtravel.com/publish/No_RV_runaways_Steep_grade_slowdown_tips.shtml
But don't worry. You will get the hang of it just fine. My wife and I were apprehensive on our first few trips, but we made it through. My wife has become a whizz at driving in all sort of conditions, but she is not so good at changing tires. I don't change tires so good either anymore due to A G E. We use a roadside service for that now.
