Rv bootcamps?
How many of you went to a rv bootcamp for education? Was it worth the money or if one reads and studies the blogs and forums and you tube, can the education be just as good?

If you're a complete newbie to camping, and don't do a lot of hands-on maintenance on either your vehicle or your home, then by all means go to a boot camp. There's a lot of work involved in owning an expensive investment in your RV, and a few hours spent in classes & a few tools in your tool box will save you in $$ and angst in the future.
You can try any of the FMCA or Good Sam National or regional events. They have a lot of seminars with valuable information for first timers. (We found the 2 FMCA National Conventions -- before we bought -- both informative and lots of fun!)
If you have concerns about your driving ability, then also go get driver training.
Remember, not everyone has had a chance to drive a large vehicle (tractor-trailer, fire apparatus, farm machinery, etc.) before they get involved in RVing -- and the goal is to be sure you can enjoy using your RV.
