If you're an experienced car driver, you already have the skills necessary to drive an RV. RVs don’t require a commercial driver’s license for personal
use. The automatic transmission, power brakes and steering you're accustomed to are standard features on most RVs.
With proper attention to the differences – the vehicle size, height and weight – you'll find it fun and easy to take the wheel or tow an RV.
Whether you drive a motorized RV or tow an RV, you should always:
Sit in the driver's seat before leaving and adjust all mirrors for optimal road views.
Account for your vehicle size when turning. The front and rear wheels will track paths much farther apart than those of a car.
Allow more time to brake, change lanes and merge onto a busy highway because big vehicles take more time to accelerate and slow down than small ones.
