Let her drive part of the time.
Agree 100 percent!
Its important the wife know how to tow, how to navigate traffic, how do to do everything from the conception of the camping trip to closing the camper door for the last time after returning home.
My thoughts from before we were even married 33 years ago, that if anything happened to me, I KNOW she can take care of hereself... with everything! That includes hitching, unhitching, towing, backing, setting up, tearing down, and have enough available funds to make sure, wherever we are, she can get back home comfortably. If I get hit by the proverbial bus, I know she can handle getting getting the camper back home with no problems at all.
We switch off driving about 50-50 now. She enjoys towing as much as I do. And this definitely breaks passenger boredom.
