Great tips. I will use this everytime!!

I am an experienced driver but I found this interesting and useful to watch. I am grateful you put this up.... however..... is a one minute musical introduction really necessary?

When I drove a Military bus (44 pass) and my Motor Home, I tried not to make right hand turns. I turned left, went around the block if it was to tight. You can make left turns easier and safer

The pivot point is the middle of the back tires (or the rear axle) :)

Although I have a 25' B+, the mechanics behind your pivot point awareness is basically the same! Also, knowing and getting used to your vehicles turning ratio is equally important. Great video...Cheers guys!

Great tips, thank you.

We've owned a variety of RVs...24 ft class C....we drove the wheels off of, then got double cab truck w 14 foot...yes it was 14 feet...most horrible RV ever...then a class A Southwind...hated that too so we spent $90k for a new Truck and 29 ft trailer...we loved it but bcuz of my having serious spinal , failed surgeries issues riding in the VERY comfy truck for more than an hour had me in tears. This means no flying even in 1st class...so...our neighbor offered us his rarely driven 40 ft Itasca Ellipse w 7k miles, mint condition on inside...he paid over $275k...we got it for 1/3rd that...it sat in the WEATHER so got a few things needed fixed...but...my husband is very intimidated by its size AND Cummins diesel engine...he thinks the air brakes are too MUCH for my having muscle weakness and recent failed spinal fusion...id like to try at least...im no wallflower and drove the other RVs for decades when he was too busy working and our kids wanted to travel...i never had an ounce of problems driving from San Diego to Yosemite w 4 kids/teenagers....or driving the truck and trailer to wherever, set up ahead of time...but this RV is a bit undaunting for me...but I will do a lot of practice using your guidence,!

Wholesome 🤠

pivot points are rear axle and trailer hitch

Should this or can this basic philosophy be applied to when you tow a camper? I have a 16' travel trailer and wonder when I do take it out (got it last year just before the summer n dry weight info was wrong; I need a larger stronger vehicle to tow it so I did not go anywhere with it last year but would like to know if I get to use it this summer or take it to RV place to have it checked n shown how to prep, hook up & use it properly. Thx

This is good for me. I am getting a 5ver and need to know tips on how to get around tough spots. Even though this is a motorhome, it helps me.

We don't have the trailer video on youtube, but we do offer a Tow your 5th Wheel Like A Pro DVD that illustrates how these techniques apply to towing a trailer available on our website

Hypatia70 this is just a short excerpt from our 67 minute dvd. All the terms are FULLY explained in the dvd. You can see the link in our description under the video of where to get the full version dvd.

Thanks for the videos. Do you have a video on turns in a tight parking lot or anything like that? Thanks, Chuck

Sorry, but I'm a total newbie. I don't know what a pivot point is, how to know what and where it is, nor do I know what the 'sway' is and how to figure that out. Your video isn't 101 because you assume beginners already know these basics. Oh well. Good try. I did learn a little, though. Thanks

Hate to sound like the newbie i am, but do these tips apply to c and super c class rigs?

I think a driver is the only person who can say "I've got an appointment in two weeks, I probably should get going."

was that not a song...... give me forty acres and I will turn this rig around.
