I did it! I did it all, without help! How about you? Tell us how you learned to drive your RV! Tell us your reservations/concerns below. - Michelle

[@RVWagginTails]

Great job, Michelle! Thanks for all the tips. I did drive the truck and RV once down our street, but I was too nervous to drive it any further. I need to start practicing more. Hopefully, one day I can do a video of overcoming my fear of it. Happy and safe travels this summer. Tina.

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

@@RVWagginTails thank you!!! Take your time, Tina. Nobody wants to do anything that isn’t enjoyable or they feel pressured to do. ❤️ You’ll get there. Who knows, this may be your year!

[@LuvSubbin]

This is such a great video with an important message. As an example, I ended up in the hospital for 6 days while Rv'ing and Cindy had never dumped the tanks (in 22 years). I had to train her from a hospital bed. Not ideal. However, she can now do it no problem. Every RV'er should know each other's task and your video was a great reminder for that.

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Oh wow, that's a story to remember! I'm glad things worked out. Thank you! ❤️

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Great job Michelle! I (Shelley) am still in the phase of doing bits and pieces and only driving for short distances in familiar places. This is bery inspiring! Thank you!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

You can do it! Thank you!!

[@justramblinaround]

Absolutely love this thumbnail and title well done!! Michelle many good tips I have been slowly on occasionally done the same thing just small doses to get familiar with the RV but boy not ready for the big drive yet. We do agree yiu never know when we may have to do each other's roles. Excellent video!!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Thank you! It has taken me a long time to get ready to do all of Brian‘s jobs but I knew it was something I needed to master. Especially, because we’re considering upgrading to a slightly bigger rig. I certainly can’t master a bigger rig if I’m not willing to master this rig. But, I can do it all now and that’s quite satisfying. You’ll get there! be patient with yourself. ❤️

[@RVAmerica]

We believe that we need to know and be able to do each other's jobs, when it comes to the rv. You never know when you will need to do them. I drive more than Danny does. 😁 Safe travels. Lynn and Danny

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Yay Lynn!!! It’s taken me awhile to get to that point, at least the backing up. Yikes!

[@ThriftyAngela]

Lol!! I love my cougar wife!!! Happy Mother's Day! 😆😆😆 I think you did a great job! 🥰

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Haha - he's so ridiculous! Thank you!

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

Hi Michelle, we both trade rolls regularly when it comes to RVing. We know anything can happen and we should both be ready for it. Great video!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Absolutely, so smart! It's not the norm, but I hope we can encourage more women to drive. ❤️

[@mamaebbie7326]

My husband and I share all the driving. We have a 3500 dually and 43 foot 5th wheel. I am the better back-up driver and he is better in city/freeway driving. Sharing means we are not exhausted on travel days. I love driving our rig

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Thanks for commenting! People need to hear this. ❤️ Sharing the driving makes everything better. Safe travels!!

[@Windswept-q9i]

Great job, Michelle! I’ve always towed our pup trailers but last year we got a 30 foot full travel trailer. I’ve driven it some but not backed up. That is this seasons goal. Wish me luck and few tears😃

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

You've got this! Tears are ok, they remind us to slow down. Be patient and you'll be a pro by the end of the season! - Michelle

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

Marie just started driving a bit last year. With aging comes health issues so both of us being proficient at it will extend our travel life. Nice job

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

That’s exactly what we were thinking. Thank you! Take care!

[@TheBestofUSTheFloros]

When you guys get back in the country, we need a girls rv trip only. Would be fun!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

That would be so fun!!

[@RVWagginTails]

Great job! Tina wants to learn so I'll be sure she watches this video!

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

I hope so!! Keep us posted! ❤️

[@airstreamer]

Thank you for this video. I am working myself up to it also. I just recently towed it in a campground and backed it in for the first time! I was a nervous wreck, but overcame it. As far as driving on the road..... not ready yet. What great encouragement for us that you worked up to it too. Happy Belated Mother's Day! - Michelle

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Awww, thank you! That means a lot!! You will get there too, be patient with yourself. ❤️ And congrats on backing in, that was the last thing I attempted!

[@airstreamer]

@@CruisinwiththeColemans 🥰 Thank you Michelle!

Great Job!! Cheers!! J & C

Thank you! Cheers!

What year is your truck and what motor is in your Ford? What year and model Apex?

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

Our truck is a Ford F150 with the tow package. Our Apex is a 2017 Apex 269 RBKS

[@Jeffrey7348]

@@CruisinwiththeColemans I was wondering which motor you have, 5.0, 2.7, 3.5

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

@@Jeffrey7348 We have a 5.0L V8 FFV engine.

[@Jeffrey7348]

@@CruisinwiththeColemans thanks, that's what I've been considering, rather than the turbo. Does it tow your rig well? You get less gas mileage, but less problems too?

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

@@Jeffrey7348 We have been very happy with our truck. It's about to roll over to 100,000 miles soon. It tows well but that all depends on how heavy your rig is. What are you towing?
