Hope springs eternal.............all you need to do is read some of the comments on this or any other topic and you find common sense in short supply...........There should be a requirement for an RV training class before allowing the masses to plunk down some cash and roar away with a TT attached or behind the wheel of an MH all without any idea of that they in essence have a tiger by the tail and it will bite, hopefully when it does I will be somewhere else. The same applies to operating a boat - motorcycle etc......I would love to see the same kind of training and testing required to obtain a private pilots license. Just to many scary folks on the highway with an RV......notice I didn't say IN CONTROL of an RV
