Diane,
All this fear because your husband dropped off the shoulder and swerved??? He is the one who did that, not you. You were just sitting there on the dinette bench doing nothing, probably enjoying the scenery. He startled you, and that was not nice of him. And he probably doesn't want to own up to it, does he. Now lets face it, he was driving a different type of vehicle that he was not use to, and two hours into that 8 hour return trip home from picking up that motorhome. Did you even talk to him after that happened, or did you sit there not saying anything? Being in a new to him vehicle, little corrections can turn into big swerves real fast. But once use to it, that isn't so likely to happen.
Also, we have no idea of what year and type of Class A you guys purchased. Some of them have inherent handling problems that can be remedied easly. Some times it can be as simple as greasing the front suspension.
And just maybe your husband needs some driving lessons. By the way, I've known women who drive big tractor trailers, who can do as well, if not better, than most guys!! But one quick correction resulting in a swerve? Give him a chance! And give yourself a chance, one of these days you might be behind that wheel, handling it as well as any gear jammer out there!!!:W
