Last Thursday, I just purchased an 08 Georgetown Forest River 373 37' 6". I had reviewed your dvd over and over again and again prior to this purchase and I wanted to say I was able to drive this beast off the lot and the next day drove from Maryland to Nags Head NC for 5 days of camping. I used your techniques and they worked as I found myself going through tunnels, rain, heavy traffic, and tight turns. I really wanted to say thank you. As a woman, the men at the campgrounds said to me you drove that big rig? I told them yes and it is easy. I also told them about your website too --Leila P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Actor Mark J. Polk was introduced to RV s in the early 70s. His friends father was the General Manager for an RV dealership and would take them camping all of the time. Before long he was working for the dealership washing RV s, and soon after that he was working as an apprentice RV technician. Not long after graduating from high school Mark joined the Army and was a wheeled vehicle and power generation mechanic. 5 plus years later he graduated from warrant officer school as an automotive maintenance technician and was in charge of some very large maintenance operations throughout his career. He retired from the Army in 1996 as a Chief Warrant Officer Three. After retiring from the Army, Mark got back into the industry that he had a passion for. He started out selling RVs for a dealership in North Carolina See more

The best reference I've found for those of us new to driving motorhomes
I bought this just before I picked up my new motorhome. I have to say, it was really valuable, really informative and helped me really understand how to drive much more accurately than I might have without it. Mark makes it easy to see how to judge turning radius and line up lanes. After 4,000 miles of driving most of this becomes automatic but this was my first orientation and I really found it so useful.

IT is learning RVs the easy way. If you thought that you new everything about RVs, just watch this DVD series and relearn everything you thought you new. Great series, I have enjoyed the ones that I have and am planning to order the rest of them. The more knowledge the better. Do things the right way first.

Not a great book

Very basic
Either I was a better driver than I realized or this video caters to the lowest common denominator. Advice included information such as watch cross streets for turning traffic and RVs take much longer to stop so anticipate accordingly. Some of the most helpful footage was the segment that they included in their free preview. I did take one extremely helpful tip away from the video about how to line up where your edges are, but not sure that was worth the fifteen dollars that I paid. The other factor that reduced number of stars was the very low-res recording. I watch plenty of dvds that look fine on a hi-def TV, but this video badly needs to be remastered to not look like it was produced in 1989 (which it well might have been).

Have an RV? buy this DVD.
This is a wonderful DVD to help you become aware of thehow and why of driving your RV.I though this might help me park a little better and moreaccurately, but this DVD was much more.Really, if you're driving a 20 ton vehicle that costs asmuch as a house, you should really know something about it.

They really should give this DVD away FREE
Normally I am a fan of RV Education videos on YOUTUBE so i thought I brought this DVD thinking it would have more detailed information and tips for becoming a better Motorhome driver but I was very disappointed. To me, it seemed the DVD was nothing more than a promotion DVD for RV Education Series. Sorry I can't recommend this DVD to anyone.

Glad I bought this disc
My wife and I would love to drive a motorhome, but are hesitant about driving something so big. This disc is very helpful in showing that the average person can do it, and do it safely.No substitute for behind-the-wheel training, of course, but I'm glad I bought it.I disagree with the reviewer who said this is just a promotion for other products. There are 3 or 4 *quick* mentions of other products in this hour-long disc, but it's no big deal.

MAde me more comfortable with my Motorhome
Just upgraded from a travel trailer to a 35' motorhome and while I used my trailer extensively driving the motorhome is a very different experience. The tips for operating the motorhome safely and enjoying the experience are invaluable
