Learning to Drive the Thing

[Marty]

Hi Everyone,
Since we will be new to owning/towing a travel trailer (our 5.0 TA has a GCD of November 1, 2021), and I freely admit to my novice status, do any of you know of any 'driving school'/class etc that I could seek out to learn to safely drive and tow our new 5th wheel? All the things - driving and changing lanes on a freeway, maneuvering through a town, a campground, backing it up and into places, setting adjusting trailer brakes, etc. My husband has more experience but a 5th wheel will be new to him to and we really want to get off to a good start and be as safe as possible. I know there are YouTube videos and all but I really do better with in person instruction and coaching.

I have tried internet searching but I am not finding anything helpful. And the guy at Camping World was no help at all.

When we visited the Escape factory probably 6 years ago, I swear they said something about a driving school that could help us but cannot remember if it was on the Washington side or in BC.

Any help, advice, referrals would be so appreciated.

Marty and Duane, waiting impatiently in Portland OR for November to get here.
