You gotta love this thread folks.
I have worked parking at a few FMCA events. I can tell you right up front that the solo women are the best at handling the rig.
We are usually the odd one out here, not this time. We have a small old class A. DW (Mary by name) loves driving it. This is fine with me because then I get to sit in the right seat and navigate and surf for interesting things to see (when I can get wire). The exception is at night or tight driving. I probably still have more hours in the driver's seat, this coach was my work truck, tool crib, office, meeting room, restaurant and occasional motel for more than a few years. When the depression shut that down, I tried to sell the coach and Mary got the great idea that we could do Rt-66 and get to Albuquerque for the balloons. We did. She took up driving when we were late and I needed sleep. That was that.
Still works that way and I am sorry for those that can't even share the driving.
