LittleRed586??? um? how old are you? Over 21 years? Right? How long have you been married? And your husband is / has been in military service? And from your previous posts, you've lived in other countries where he was stationed?
It's quite obvious you have already broken the "norms" of your family. Don't you think you are person of your own thinking? (I think you are!) This is the year 2017! You are not your aunt, nor are you your parents! As in all marriages, YOU have to do what works for YOU! If you want to drive, then by-golly, you drive!
I make sure my wife drives the camper. I make sure she, not only knows, but can actually hitch and unhitch, set up and break camp on her own. She drives, and if she runs into a situation, knows how to get help or assistance.
Why?
Because if I become incapacitated, have an accident, or even get killed, I have all the confidence in the word SHE can get me to the hospital (or the morgue), and get the camper home with me NOT being there! You just never know what may happen.
You drive and put your family behind you! When you are on the road, what's important is what happens between you and your husband. Not you and your aunt!
Good luck and happy driving!
