Wow. Some folks are treating this like a tramatized who survived an airline crash and is now afraid to fly :R
First, try to put things into perspective. You did NOT crash, die, or witness some horrific event. There is not trama in such a thing.
Now, if you are *uneasy* with your DH's driving of the class A or he is unsure of himself, then surely take advantage of the advice to allow him to take an RV driving course, get practice in a large lot, drive with an experienced class A driver for a bit, etc.
Remember, there are two distinct issues here. The first is DH having or getting the required skills for class A. The second is your worrying about it.
Only you can let go of fear. Nobody can give it to you or take it from you. Some people suffer from irrational fears and have to make special accomodations for that. Not saying that is you, rather pointing out that even with taking appropriate steps to reduce the chances of future incidents, if you are either unwilling or unable to let go of the fear and move past it, then you may have to make other arrangements.
There is no shame in deciding you don't enjoy something. If you both decide the class A isn't right for you, then it is very simple to change to something you will both enjoy.
After all, a class A is not something you 'accomplish' it is something you 'choose' based on your needs. It is not a status symbol, nor is changing out of one a sign of failure. Choosing an RV based upon your needs and adjusting when your needs change is simply a sign of a wise person!
So I'd say to you make a wise choice. Either choose to let it go (and take any remediation steps you both find appropriate) or choose something else that you can both enjoy. One is as good as the other! :D
