Always been my contention that anyone driving any RV on the highway (Motor home, 5er, TT or anyone pulling recreational doubles)need to pass not only a written test but a skills test driving their vehicle combination or they don't get a license to drive it.
Real simple.
Just like I had to do to get my Class A commercial license.
Additionally, there should be a physical requirement as well, again, just like my Class A. You cannot pass the physical, no license.
You (and I) don't need grandpa Zog motoring down the road in a MoHo when they cannot see or hear and have reaction times like a turtle...
I'm all in favor of DOT regulation and licensing of recreational vehicle drivers, here in the states and Canada. Always have been.
Just because you have the bucks to buy a Tiffin or a Newmat or a Prevost, don't mean you have the skills or commmon sense to drive it on public roads and put other's lives in danger.
Ar some point regulations and licensing will be implemented, only a matter of time.
