So were most of us when we first went for the test but it is soooooh worthwhile to gain experience of the bigger vehicle whilst under proper tuition. I totally agree with Olley's statement that you should go for the C Licence - it could save you a lot of money if you decide to go up to a larger motorhome later - and you can always get a spare time job as an agency driver.

Hi freakylady, so was I, hardly slept for the week I was doing the intensive driving, but after it was over, I wondered what I worried about, I mean it not as if my job depended on it.

Tester was very chatty and called Ian same as me, so I knew he was a good guy, Asked me if I wasn't a bit old for a change of career, cheeky sod.

If you fail you just take it again a week later after 1 more days training, that's what RTT (Rolling Transport Training) told me anyway, they block book tests so they can fit you in very quickly. I would imagine other training firms do the same.
