Now my missus (who is an excellent driver) thinks she can’t drive our new 7m MH. Ladies please share some pics of the beasts you drive (nothing rude please) so I can help her confidence .

thanks in anticipation

 

[Richard n Ann]

Wish I could. Ann won't drive ours ?

Rosalie is a good driver but I love driving, so she does less driving although she has driven our 7.7m van for an hour or so in Spain and once when I got a chest infection drove home from the Spanish border.
From a lifetime of driving all kinds of vehicles, the bigger the vehicle, the easier it is to drive but like any first time driving, it takes a few moments to get used to, not so much the extra length as the extra width.

...and the swing of the overhang.

"extra width"

"swing of the overhang"

Isn't this all getting a bit personal?

Could manage to get any text on last post and not a very good photo, but 7.32M long and 3.23 High 4 tonner. this was our motorhome until a few weeks ago, i did about 70% of the driving. I love driving, just wondering if i will enjoy the automatic we have got as much.

Sorry my wife will not drive our 6.8m van.

 

[Kirsten]

We both share the driving in our 6.5 m van - Sarah much better at reversing than I am but if we can do it anyone can. It is just confidence and practice. you can do it Mrs J xxx

My Brenda learnt to drive on the family farm. By 5 years old she was driving the tractor with a 30+ ft trailer with the adults loading and unloading the hay bales etc. She is scared of nothing and has driven every vehicle we have owned. The current 8.5. tag axle A class towing a car is no exception

view from rear, wife driving

Van is only 6m. Wife prefers to drive solo but does tow. Shes never ridden a Harley but used to ride a Puch Maxi (moped) to college a mere 70 miles a day. (35 each way, shes not that much a hero/fool.)

I love driving anything, cars, motorbikes, our Motorhome. If we do any city driving I always do it as I’m far more comfortable behind the wheel than in the passenger seat, the OH says it’s because I’m a control freak (of course I know it’s because I’m the better driver)!

My Domestic Manager, Cindy, drives fire engines under blues & twos on shouts etc. Driving our 7m van is no problem for her.

 

[Helen Ariel]

I drive our new 7m van in profile pic. Pretty cautious at the moment while I'm getting used to it but should become 2nd nature when we start our year out soon.

 

[Chris]

My wife used to drive our 8m Autotrail.

Better than me.

 

[lorger]

Although I do most of the driving as o enjoy it Lorraine always has a few goes just Incase she needs to drive in emergency.
Funster friends of our the wife won’t drive so they took her off the insurance as they thought if anything happened incapacitate him the insurance company wouldn’t collect van as she’d be fit to drive.

 

[Nixdorfer]

Luckily my girlfriend won't drive our 6.85m MH, she still won't even do motorways in her Fiat Panda after driving for years.

Having been in the car with her thats a blessing for all of us really

I drive our 6.3m PVC. Have no pics of me driving though as that would be dangerous as I’m the only one who can operate the camera!

 

[Southdowners]

I drive ours. It's 8.6 long and 7.5 tonnes.

Tell your wife there's nothing about being male that makes a person a better driver! ?

 

[ivorantony]

We have a 7.2 metre A class and the missus is quite happy to drive her,
In Sweden at a iron ore mine the majority of dump truck drivers are female,
They are more careful and sympathetic in there driving that equates to fewer breakdowns and less
Maintenance, so to management it’s a win win,

Good luck with persuading her. My wife is a good driver but she just point blank refuses to drive the motorhome because she is frightened she will damage it. She made sure there is no way she will drive it by refusing to extend her C1 licence when she turned 70.

 

[carolyn]

We only have a 6.4 m PVC but it’s Nick who wouldn’t have a bigger van, I do as much driving as him and all the awkward bits!
