Trusting your mirrors
"Trust your mirrors" - I read that phrase here in a thread about solo RVing. Even when I am just driving my tow vehicle (Dodge RAM 2500 with a shell), I seem to always wish I could see more, of cours...

I generally have no problem with the view to either side, I have a rear facing camera but it is really for observing the towed and enough of the lane on either side to see if someone is along side the towed. The big problem you cannot see is the guy directly behind you who doesn't want a RV to slow him down. I have on many, many occasions been passed buy some jerk that was approaching me, who floored the accelerator and then zip around me when I turn on my turn signal light to change lane.
If traffic is clear in the lane behind me and I signal for a lane change, in I theory have the right of way. Sometimes I want to run the guy who can't stand being behind an RV off the road, I don't because it is very expensive and dangerous, besides most times a half hour later when I pull off the road there is that jerk two car lengths ahead of me getting off too.
Hold on... I have never heard that the person changing lanes has right-of-way. I've always thought you had to wait for there to be a clear space before moving over.
