“I'm scared
to death of driving an RV!”
The
statement says much about people who would like to travel in their
own recreational vehicle. But, they miss out because they think
they can't handle an RV. Now, there's a school that helps develop
the skills needed to drive an RV with confidence - and have fun
at the same time.
"More
and more people are traveling in motor homes and trailers. Still
others are thinking about renting or buying an RV for their summer
vacations," says RV Driving School owner Dennis Hill. "But sometimes
people are a little too scared to use their RVs fully."
The
seminar will discuss driving confidence and many of the skills that
drivers need: characteristics of different units, driving techniques,
cornering, driving up and down mountain roads, backing, and defensive
and courteous driving.
Dennis
has been driving RVs for years. As a wagon master for a
camping group, he helped many members learn to use their RVs.
"Why
the school? There was a big need in the industry for an RV driving
school. Dick Reed, who founded the school, would hear people in RV parks and campgrounds
say they wished they could learn how to drive their RVs better,
especially how to back up. I’m proud to carry on Dick Reed’s
traditions as the new owner of RV Driving School."
"We
teach confidence," Dennis says. "We specialize in training any licensed
driver to pull their fifth wheel or drive a motor home. We personalize
the training. People may use their own RV or ours. I teach them
how to drive safely."
