I see RV driving classes for those that already own an RV - but are there any "hands on" classes for those that do not yet own an RV?
I know people say "rent one" but that seems a little scary to me considering I've never driven one - and I'd be on my own .. and I'm use to driving only a small compact car.
I would like to have some training and experience before committing to renting and/or buying. Any suggestions?
Contact a truck driving school or rent a U-Haul, Budget, Ryder, etc.. I may be a little more expensive, but, start with a small truck like a box van. Then when you are comfortable with it, rent the next bigger one and so on, until you get to the size of the coach you are thinking of purchasing.

I really do think that some prior training is a good idea, just look out on the roads to prove it. If you are an experienced driver, it should be no problem, just get someone to go over the features of the rig, and understand them. Use common sense, and be aware of the limitations of what you are driving. If you are buying where you are, get the dealer to take you out on the road for a trial, if they won't do that, find another dealer.
