will concentrate on the
information required to drive these type vehicles
safely.

People are realizing that a recreational vehicle is a
mobile living experience.

Types of trailer vehicles that fall under this type are
motor homes, campers; and, even van conversions can
offer a living style for traveling.

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in each state is
concerned with the safe operation of RVs, recreational
trailers, and all other trailers.

Most drivers have experience in driving passenger
vehicles; yet, an RV or trailer handles very
differently.

Some of the most noticeable driving differences of
trailers versus cars are restricted vision and added
braking times.

Additional differences include bridge heights, buildings
with low canopies, space requirement needs, increased
following distances, increased turning radiuses, and
more space needed for lane changes.

You learn more and obtain an education from your
state for the following:

1. Basic driver rules and regulations for safe driving
in all situations. (Check the State you live in for
specific rules).

2. Rules and regulations for Class A and Class B
commercial vehicles and trailers, multiple trailers,
passenger transport vehicles, and commercial Class C
vehicles.

3. Rules and regulations for Class M1 and M2 motorcycle
operators.

4. Registration information for recreational vehicles
and trailers.

5. Various brochures entitled "Fast Facts" or "How To"
which provide driver license and registration
information for vehicles and trailers.

Study Materials from your State;

1. Owner's manual for your towing vehicle

2. Owner's manual for your RV or your trailer
