This is a unique guide, “How to Drive Your Motor home Like a Pro“, to help motor home owners by teaching them commercial driving techniques. There are basic rules that motor home drivers need to use that are not taught in automobile driving schools.
- How to merge onto a freeway safely

- Making safe turns
- Backing up your motor home
- Safe tire inflation and how to determine what is safe for your rig
- Engine checks
The writer of the guide, drove motor homes for the better part of thirty years, he felt the need to share what he has learned about driving large vehicles. I personally have owned and driven motor homes, fifth wheels and trailers for 35 years and I found the techniques described in this guide extremely useful. The goal of this guide is to help people be confident, safe, and knowledgeable when driving down the road.
All of the articles on my blog come from being a camper from the time I was eight years old. I bought my first RV when I was 30, a tent trailer. I traded the tent trailer for a 26′ bumper pull trailer, then a 5th wheel, and I now have a 38′ Newmar Mountainare Class A motorhome. Once I retired from the Motion Picture Industry after a 39 year career, my wife and I sold the house, and moved into the motorhome. We have been traveling, managed an RV Park in Washington, worked at a lake in Southern California (I was the Maintenance Manager), and are planning our seventh season as the campground hosts at a campground in the Los Padres National Forest, in Southern California. We love the Full Time RV Lifestyle. See my course on https://howtofulltimerv.com
