Driving instructor needed please help!

A motor coach is not like driving a semi truck.

It is literally just like driving a house. The weight and your engine plus the potential for airbrakes etc would need a little teaching.

Your trailer with a car on it will be the worst part of driving around, you will understand that you cannot back up something like that very well. It's very short compared to your long motor home. So generally you will be getting into places you can usually pull straight through.

It's a journey in life, both of you will learn by doing. It is good you ask for someone to teach you what is possible with those kinds of vehicles. But they are not semi trucks. It is again very closer to driving a house, for that is what they are on wheels.

You did not give a location so that it will be somewhat difficult for anyone who would like to help to understand what is possible without alot of back and forth on PM's which may or may not be possible right away.

 

If they are going to train you for two days until your comfortable with the vehicle then you should be ok. Here are some questions that you should definitely ask the person training you such as bridge height, making turns with the vehicle, stopping distance, mirror usage, and backing. Also if they can explain and show you how to pre-trip the vehicle that would be very beneficial. I’m betting the training is going to be very thorough.

 

If you need help. I live in salt lake.

 

Look who's going on vacation..send postcards

 

Here ya go, @snowwy seems like a solid knowledgeable individual, I'd bet he would be a good one to teach you

 

With something like that its going to come down to time in the seat,.. a little bit of trial and error and doing your best to change your driving habits to take into account the size of what you are driving.

Its the unknown that we fear the most. I say jump in with both feet and just do it. Buy a commercial truckers GPS. Set the height, and full length with trailer and your gross weight into the GPS,.. and for the most part,.. it should help keep you out of harms way. The rest is just common sense.

A year from now you guys will feel like pro's.
