If the average, mid-60 year-old grandma can hustle a 40-foot school-bus filled with 60-odd screaming kids through narrow residential neighborhood streets twice a day, you can learn to drive an RV.
My suggestion is to talk to your local school district transportation manager and see if any of the drivers would give you some instruction and maybe help you get the rig you eventually purchase back home.
You might also look around your town and contact RV owners whose rigs you see and ask them for advice.
My personal choice, after having a 26' Class C for a couple of years, was a used 32' Class A gasser with two slides. It was the shortest one we found that had roomy accommodations and a walk-round queen bed in a permanent bedroom. Unfortunately, circumstances have conspired to make RV-ing no longer feasible, and we sold the rig a few weeks ago, after four years.
