I am considering buying a 32 foot class A but I don't have anyone to spot for me when I travel. For reference, I back my 20 foot travel trailer into campsites on my own. Is a spotter really essential to backing a motorhome, or can it be done like backing a travel trailer, getting out and looking, and swearing softly a little from time to time? Watching this video made me question whether I should continue with my purchase of a Class A for my traveling lifestyle. Hmmm...

Thank you for this video!! I’m purchasing a Class A Motorhome and the last couple days I’ve been a little worried about driving it since I’ve never drove anything this big.

Thanks so much for the comment!! I believe most of the question you have can be answered by visiting our list on facebook marketplace, I'll check the generator and let you know.....we never used the generator at at all....My wife does Glamping not camping....Full hook ups Only!!! facebook.com/marketplace/item/404678568192696

Sorry for the delay......the Motorcoach is 2 hours away. Okay ....tires are Michelins and date code is B6BJ BVJX 1012..... I hope that is right. Generator has 388.9 hours on it (Runs Awesome), we never used it....my wife only does full hookups and the Motorhome stays plugged in when parked. Engine is a Chevy/GMC 8.1L Vortec V8 (340hp).....almost 80k on it.......just drove from Pittsburgh, PA. to Live Oak, FL.....Run Great w/ no issues. I hope this awsers your question!! God Bless!!

"Im never going to see these people again." Best thing to keep in mind when nervous or feeling anxiety take hold in public. That statement can be applied to many many things. People should worry less about what others think, or what failires one makes on front of people. We are all the same, learning or doing the same thing, just trying to enjoy life. You can put the truth on a tee shirt, No one has to panic about what others think of you, They dont pay your bills or help you with any mistakes you make. Just keep trucking, and learn the best way you can.

This has been so helpful! My goal is to be able to drive my RV comfortably with no one else with me except my dog! I'm going to do measurements and see how I could do the 3 in 1 without a spotter. My rear camera does have distances and path of travel trajectory which is super helpful but I'm still coming g in a little too close to hook ups. I'm also thinking of taking some lessons with a driving school to get more confidence. Thanks for the video!

This is a very instructional video and audio must watch for all owners of RV's. It has made me feel much more confident about driving a large vehicle and it increases awareness for those times when I am driving a standard car in the vicinity of an RV. Give more room and consideration to RV drivers as their blind spots are sometimes large and we have to take this into account. All things considered I think that all drivers should see this video and our roads would be a lot safer

My only problem with today's RVs is their size. At between 35' and 40' in length, I don't know what their height might be, from the pavement to the top of the AC unit on the roof, but most I've seen are so large, you might as well be driving a 4 story building on wheels.

I've been thinking about getting a second convex mirror for my passenger side. I'd have the normal one adjusted properly and the second one aimed directly at the blind spot. I've got old school style mirrors held on by just thin metal rods so it's really easy to stick stuff on them, like CB antennas and other accessories.

I can’t believe overall how good it is. The color of the floor looks good. Are you going to extend it into the kitchen area? The refrigerator also looks good? I agree that 4 burner stove is probably a thing of the past ours is 3 burner. A sprayer for the commode, nice, we don’t have that. And, porcelain commode. I didn’t know that they put porcelain in that era. Overall, y’all got a good one with what I do say has low miles. Have fun and keep us informed of your progress.

I wish this was up when we hired an RV. We arrived in LA from Australia at 9a.m. By about 11:30 we're driving a 32 ft RV through LA traffic. Biggest thing I've ever driven by far. And on the opposite side of the road! Knowing how to reverse just using the two mirrors is important. I cringe when I see people look over their shoulder when reversing. It's a just a bad habit from poor driver training, even in a little car.

In Australia we teach to align your shoulder with the kerb or edge of roadway of the road you are turning into when making left turns, and the centreline of the roadway when making right turns. In most cases, that will position the rear of the vehicle to miss kerbs and traffic islands

This is by far the best RV Driving Tutorial I have found. Kudos to Lazy Days RV! One disappointment: In the backing up portion they demonstrate pulling up to the campsite on the driver's side and then later mention it is three times as hard pulling up on the passenger side. I would have loved to see that demonstrated.
