My DH and I also purchased our first coach almost 4 years ago. DH had driven some larger trucks, but never a motorhome. Ours is a wide body model. Following him home that first day when we picked it up, he was right on the edge on the right side of the lane. He gradually adjusted after having a couple of close calls with the ditch. Tell DH what helped him was -- in a car you sit behind the front tire and inside of that tire. In the motorhome you sit on top of the front tire -- place yourself on the road where you want the left tire to be.
After the first year, I still do not like riding in the motorhome. We now have another vehicle and I drive that behind the coach. The coach has a trailer with a motorcycle, scooter and toolboxes behind it, so we don't tow the Jeep. He is much better at comfortably driving the coach now -- your DH just needs practice until he is confident that he is in control.
