Has anyone driven an RV or something comparable?

No but I once drove my husband's f-350 with a 16 ft trailer hooked up to it to the store. Well I drove it there fine, but I couldn't back it out of the parking lot. Some guy backed it out for me. That was rather embarrassing.

I've pulled a little 2 horse trailer, but that is so insignificant to what I want to do.

Short trailers are harder to back up than long ones, that also applies to the wheelbase of the tow vehicle.

Remember when backing up a trailer that left is right and right is left.  Smiley_emoticons_smile  And lay off the Jake brake.

That was the first time I ever tried to back up a trailer. And the last. My husband has eight of them that they use for work so I figured how hard could it be. Well it was harder than it looked.

I want to go back home and up into Quebec when the border reopens and I want to bring along a couple friends, my treat, but I don't want to spend thousands for hotels & dining. We all would prefer the privacy that an RV would offer. There's more, but you get the idea.

Are you buying an RV or just renting one?

Well if you do think about buying, I saw a really nice one for $180,000.

I was looking at some. They are beautiful & modern, all the comforts of home.

I feel certain there is a tremendous difference between driving one of those big ass puppies and my sporty little car.

Nice of you to post a brand new,  or recently cleaned RV.  Go ahead and rent one.

I looked at them and then decided to get a pull behind instead. Mostly because of the money, but also because everything in those piece of shits end up breaking and you have to replace it, even with the top notch ones.
