    I am buying a Pete to turn into an RV. So I do not need a CDL to drive it. I already own a 34' RV that I drive as a daily driver, so I know how to drive (take corners, get people the H#LL out of my way). My problem is the shifting. I have driven 5 speed cars and pickups, since I learned to drive, and still do once in awhile. Trucks seem alot different. Are they harder to shift that a 5 speed??

    So I am asking if there is a DVD course or instructional vids on shifting the different trannys.

    I do not want to pay for Trucking school, too expensive. And I do not know any CDL drivers.

    Thanks

    Theyre a bit more difficult. You have to rev-match.
