Before I got my MH I had driven a small cargo van once or twice, that was it for vehicles larger than a full size car or pickup. I discovered my fuel pump seal into the tank was leaking when the tank was full, so I set about burning the fuel out of it so I could drop the tank and replace the seal. Took over 400 miles of local driving (I live in the country, sorta, Walmart is 20 miles away, some other stuff 15 miles or so) I used the MH instead of the car to get groceries, go out to eat, etc. Gave me a real good chance to get used to driving it and work out what else I needed to do to it to improve the driving situation (added OEM parabolic mirrors, which mysteriously were not installed from the facory).
I highly recommend doing some day trips or simple overnights to work out the bugs, and determine what you need that you don't have, or what you are doing wrong or need to do differently. A simple day trip to a state park and grill out some burgers and eat and go home will help you learn alot.
