My husband and I completed the RV Driving School this past Friday (7/6) and we wanted to let you know what an awesome experience it was!  Like so many others, we started the course a little skeptical as to how much we could learn…you know, since we have each been driving about 50 years or so and already knew it all!!  Well, ha!  ha! on us.   We were amazed at how little we actually knew when it came to driving and handling a motor home safely.

Our instructor was Michael Lynch out of Acworth, GA and we cannot sing his praises loud enough.   He has so much knowledge and experience from his years of driving and he willingly shares that knowledge to train novices like us.  He gave us a lot of classroom instruction and explanations as to how you drive/handle the motor home and then we put it into practice with him guiding us every step.   One of the things I appreciated most was, when I had a lot of difficulty with backing the rig,  Michael was extremely patient and, when one technique did not work, he was able to teach me another technique until I was successful at completing the task…now that’s a great instructor!!  My husband and I will both be hearing that big, booming voice telling us to “check the mirrors every 6 seconds”, “use your real estate” “push and pull the steering wheel” and “it’s not a matter of if, but when you will have an accident” if you aren’t driving defensively and paying attention at all times!   He also shared with us so many practical pointers like pretrip checklists, what to do if you have a blowout, using all your braking systems (especially with mountain driving) and so much more….  We have pages and pages of notes that we will be referring to often.

In summation, it is our opinion your driving school should really be a requirement for anyone who purchases an RV!  The benefits far outweigh the cost!   We feel so much more prepared to hit the road in our RV….And Kudos and thanks again to Michael Lynch for being an exceptional instructor!
