We wanted to compliment our instructor, Louis Majoris, for his patient and professional instruction.   His shared experience and insights were key to a better understanding of backing and parking our 5th wheel RV.  We are very glad we invested in this instruction.  Thank you.

I recently completed my driving lesson, and I had so much fun. I was a nervous wreck both Friday and Saturday, but Randy Stanhope was wonderful. We went over everything as outlined, safety, knowing our RV, basic rules of the road, etc. The first day, we drove around our storage lot where I learned how to get out of our parking space without running over anything, how to turn corners, how to back straight up, and how to park in a simulated camping site.

Once I got home, I felt a little overwhelmed with everything and was pretty nervous on Saturday, especially since rain was in the forecast. After we talked more about the RV and more basics, we hit the road. I drove up to a campground we love to go to, which is about 20 miles away. There are two campgrounds on either side of a Forestry lake. The south campground is closed due to a lightning strike, so I drove in and turned around. The north campground is a little smaller and you have to cross two very narrow one way traffic bridges. I warned Randy that they were narrow, but he didn’t really believe me about just how narrow. My husband said he wished he’d taken a picture of Randy’s face when he saw the bridges. I safely negotiated them, and when I got past the second one without dragging a mirror off, he said “You passed.” We laughed.

He’s the best He’s very knowledgeable about all aspects of RVing and made me feel comfortable. I know both my husband and I learned a lot from him. I feel very confident that I can drive the RV. BTW, the reason for the lesson was my husband was diagnosed with cancer when we were on a camping trip 7 hours from home in May 2019. Of course, I couldn’t come home anyway at the time because he was in the hospital for one month. He wanted me to be prepared in case anything else happens when we’re on the road.

I can’t express enough how valuable this lesson was. I can’t wait to hit the road in the very near future. I may fight my husband to get behind the wheel.

Best regards,

Tim Armstrong gave us our tuition money’s worth many times over. 

He said from the beginning that he was ours for the entire day if we needed more instruction time on any area.  He was as good as his word. On both days, he went into overtime: teaching, answering questions and reinforcing what he’d already taught.  We never felt rushed. In fact we were the ones who told HIM when class was over.

At the end of the day, he gave us his business card with instructions to call anytime we had any questions.  We knew this was a sincere offer because we’d heard him return calls from ex-students who’d called with questions.

We wouldn’t hesitate to refer RV School to anyone if all the instructors are of Tim’s caliber.

We’ve been full timing in our 39’ 5th wheel for 2 years, and I’ve been doing all the driving. I had always meant to get adriving lesson but didn’t. After a few dents, and challenges backing into tight spots , I wanted to accelerate my learning. My wife also wanted to start driving, and my advice to her was that it’d be safer to start out with a lesson.

So we signed up for the lesson with Brian. It was great that he came over to the side of Tucson we were staying, and the first day met us at our site.

We each spent a good portion of the lesson building the skills to back up. It was hard work, and taking turns frequently was the way to go.  Even Brian was surprised how slow our rv responded, but he helped us figure out the what and when of various backing scenarios.  We learned when to focus on getting the 5th wheel in position and when to focus on the truck.

My wife used most of the driving around town/interstates, and by the end of the 2nd day was surprised how well she had done. I learned that a lot of what I was doing was fine, but my confidence and competence took a big step.

Proof of the pudding was today for me. We moved from Catalina sp to McDowell mtn regional park. I wasn’t looking forward to backing in. It was angled a bit but the road wasn’t wide and they have curbs next to a fairly narrow entrance to the site. We now speak the same language when backing up, a big help. I started backing up, knew right away I needed to move a bit more toward the center of the road, so repositioned and started again. For the first time ever I was able to back in without having to pull forward at all. We were in the site within a few minutes. I’ve had it take me 30’ before. Much much less stressful than before.

We know we have a lot to learn. We have got plenty of things to practice, and we can keep getting better. In 2 weeks it’s my wife’s turn to drive, and she feels ready.

Best money we’ve spent since buying the rv!  We’d recommend the lesson highly!

Brian listened and observed well, was professional, patient and an effective trainer!

I had my two day class with Randy,  After our first day I said to my wife that today alone was worth the price of the course,  I thought Randy was an excellent instructor .  He was very knowledgeable and quite patient with me. I certainly feel that my time and money were well spent.  Would highly reccomend this course to anyone.
